I “maid” my way to the elevator…

Please take the elevator that way.

X Please take the elevator that way.

This sign seems to mean that you should get on the elevator and ride the elevator to go to the left. Sideways?! If it doesn’t go up, it’s not an elevator!

The writer of this sign shouldn’t have used “take” here. After you go that way, then you will get on the elevator. This sign should just explain the location of the elevator, and assume that, after you find it, you’ll understand what to do!

O This way to the elevator. O The elevator is this way.
