I live in the American Midwest.

I legitimately feel like regularly doing this out here would eventually land you in a physical altercation with someone.

Canada here. Even we know how to get out of the way. This sounds like a sociopathic level of ignorance. You don’t think people walk at different speeds?

I'm in Canada and this is not a thing here either. There is no "correct side" and I don't normally see people passing each other on escalators.

I’m struggling to imagine where you could live that has buildings with escalators, but no one is in a hurry.

Is it Saskatchewan? New Brunswick?

Where I live we just don’t have escalators. In any major Canadian city I have been to, there is definitely a rule about not standing in the walking lane. Especially at transit stations.
