TURNSTILES and revolving doors

A turnstile, also called a baffle gate (perhaps ironically), is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time.

Baffling to some because all too often people don't seem to realize that blocking the entrance or exit (typically one in the same) of said "gates" prevents them from functioning properly. Based on my observations, it can be quite a confusing concept for some who are unable to calculate that the exit of one person must be completed before the entry of another can begin to allow safe passage, avoid commuter-rage and dodge possible harm as a final result.

I suggest that "Turnstiles & Revolving Doors 101" be a prerequisite course for entering the commuter and business world. All a student would have to do is successfully enter and exit the classroom via a turnstile without creating chaos, provoking tempers or causing physical injury to another.

Please sign my petition for Prop TRD101!
