Abstract
An information display and control device for a passenger conveyor includes a housing and a post. The device is separate from the passenger conveyor and is positioned at a desirable location that is viewable by passengers approaching the passenger conveyor. The housing is mounted on the post at a predetermined height to avoid inadvertent tampering with the components of the housing. In one particular embodiment, the components of the housing include a traffic light, a control panel and an emergency switch.
