You should read "The Roads Must Roll" short story by Robert Heinein. He takes this idea to a whole nother level.

    Asimov also had that in his books. The idea was kinda popular in sci-fi back in the 50s-60s.

    Asimov also noted that if someone fell on another person on that ‘road’ and it caused a domino effect, that would suck big time.
