===Design=== The system includes 18 escalators and three inclined [[moving walkway]]s.<ref name="ICEE"/> Due to the complex terrain, parts of the system run on elevated concrete structures, while other sections sit at ground level.<ref name="plananddesign"/> The moving walkways have a tread width of one metre (3.28 feet), allowing faster pedestrians to pass slower users.<ref name="plananddesign"/> In line with Hong Kong [[escalator etiquette]], slower or idle users generally keep to the right. The three walkways have inclines of 8.1°, 11.9° and 11.7°. Eleven of the escalators have a typical 30° incline, while the remaining seven have a non-standard 17.5° incline.<ref name="ICEE"/> All the walkways (except for at-grade road crossings) are covered to protect users from the rain, although the sides are open to the elements. The roofing structure was designed to be visually attractive, and incorporates translucent polycarbonate to allow sunlight to illuminate the walkways.<ref name="plananddesign"/>
