Sounds like a Star Trek "turbolift"- y'know, the little elevator with the motorcycle throttles on the wall that Kirk and Spock were always jumping in and out of.
At my place, the corridor intersection 20 feet from my door sees all sorts of traffic: patients on powered beds, materials on pallet jacks, electric carts pulling trains of linen carts, meal delivery, and various and sundry people walking back and forth. One these days we're going to have the gaudiest goddam pileup.
