A moving sidewalk is an American English term for a flat, motorized conveyor belt built into the floor that transports pedestrians horizontally — most commonly found in airports, large transit hubs, and theme parks. While the standard term in the UK is 'moving walkway' or 'travelator,' Americans stick with moving sidewalk. It's not glamorous slang, but anyone who's ever sprinted down one trying to catch a connecting flight knows exactly how clutch they can be.
