A security device of predetermined strength extends transversely with respect to the operating direction of the escalator or of the moving walkway on the comb segments. The security device (30) is mounted at the junction between comb plate (12) and comb segments (14) and movements of the comb plate (12) and/or the comb segments (14) can be detected by means of the security device (30).
