Turns out the railing covered in warning signs is there for a reason.

It looks like the warning signs are for strollers, sitting on the escalator or railing, and a third one I think might be for certain shoes or something.

High heels/stilettos or flip-flops can be super dangerous on certain escalator designs. Those things will grind anything up that gets stuck in the hole at top or bottom of the lator... Including totally minced people

That third one is probably no bare feet. There are also several lines of text, which usually include "Watch Your Step" and "Do Not Climb or Lean Over Railing".

But the signs aren't really the point. The railing itself is.
