I don't think spiral staircases generally get even 1m wide, it's not trivial for two people going in opposite directions to pass each other. You walk on the middle of the step as there isn't much room to the left or right to go to.

> I don't think spiral staircases generally get even 1m wide, They can get wide. Try climbing the lower part of the dome of St. Peter’s basilica in Rome, for example (https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/view-of-a-young-man-and-woman-as-they-hold-hands-while-news-photo/1605673457 https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/view-of-a-yo...) Also, in the context of “it just feels easier to traverse stairs as close to the inside as possible”, I think spiral staircases that are less than a meter wide aren’t relevant. On them, the only option is to walk in the middle of the stairs.
