Stairs, staircases, even escalators and ramps! Sometimes dangerous, often abandoned, always interesting.

Curvy garage stairs

For only 3 stairs you’d think they’d line up a little better

What are those flat sides at the sides of an outdoor staircase called and what are they for? Why do they seems so common across Europe esp in long old stairways and at subway entrances?

I'm referring to those flat smooth edges at the sides of staircases.

That you can literally slide down. And yes thats the actual staircases from the place in Paris filmed for john Wick. I actually been there and saw a whole bunch of these and not just t where the movie was filmed but across the town its in period. Not just that but I notice the entrances to the subway station from the roads across Paris and Berlin also tended to have these slide thingies.

What are they called and what are they for? Why do they seem so common in old parts of Europe and at the entrances for underground subway stations (at least in Europe)?
