Mirrors in Elevators

Nov 26, 2015 14:10
In most elevators, large mirrors are installed.

Do you know the reason for this?

These mirrors are installed for people who use a wheelchair or a stroller to confirm readily the entrance of the elevator.

Also, in addition to usual buttons, another buttons for children and people who use a wheelchair are attached in many elevators.

When you press these buttons, a time that the door is open will be longer than the case of usual buttons.
エレベーターの鏡

多くのエレベーターの中には、大きな鏡が付けられています。

この理由を御存知でしょうか。

この鏡は、車いすやベビーカーを利用する人が、後ろ向きのまま出入り口の様子を確認するためのものです。

また、エレベーターは通常のボタンに加えて、子どもや車いす利用者のために低い位置にも設置されていることが多いです。

このボタンを押すと、扉が開いている時間が通常よりも長くなります。

    　I'm not quite sure what you mean by this
    Is it so they can more easily see the entrance?

    　another button OR other buttons - it depends on whether there is just one button or multiple buttons

Sorry for my confusing expression. Maybe your thinking is right.
I wanted to say something like
"It is difficult to look behind for people who ride a wheelchair. However, they can check their behind without turning around by using mirrors."

Okay, that makes sense^^

"It is difficult for people in wheelchairs to look behind (themselves). However, they can check what is behind them without turning around by using (the) mirrors"

  • These mirrors are installed for people who use a wheelchair or a stroller to provide better visibility when backing out of the elevator.
Another day, another interesting read!
