PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safety device for a transport system capable of tilting movement with respect to an operating direction and including walkways and stairs moving in a longitudinal direction by means of moving elements. SOLUTION: A safety counter-guide 7 is arranged on the moving elements 1, 2, preventing the upwards tilting of the moving elements 1, 2 and further having a lower sensor 8 in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into with moving elements 1, 2. Therefore the moving elements 1, 2 cannot tilt in an upwards direction, preventing possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system, and due to a possible tendency to the tilting caused by any anomaly, the system is automatically stopped.
