In a crowded place like a shrine or temple, there should be permanent barricades on either side of the steps. There should be separate paths for entry and exit. A queue should be maintained and no should be allowed to jump it. Volunteers should be stationed at every step to control and guide the crowd. If necessary, police personnel with adequate training should be stationed. Passes may given to all visitors during a huge event.
