Many of the escalators within Hoog Caterijne are missing. The passage through Hoog Caterijne is a very busy route to pass between central station and the city center, and so it is important to clearly indicate where one needs to go down to reach Vredenburgplein, or up to reach Utrecht Central station. The route through Hoog Caterijne may also be indicated as an official walkway, to help navigate this route.
