There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.
Throughput isn’t everything though, for instance in train stations some people hurry for a connection, I would say let the latency sensitive ones bypass the others, except in situation where there is a concrete throughput issue.

There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.
Noted exceptions being if it’s not a massive bolus of people trying to leave or also if the walk side is fully saturated with walkers.

I hope there’s more of them in your life.
