straight stairs
Steps without turns
Straight stairs are a staircase that rises in a single direction without turns, landings, or curves—the simplest and most common stair configuration.
The flight runs in one continuous line from bottom to top: The straight stairs led directly from the foyer to the second floor.
Contrasts with L-shaped, U-shaped, spiral, and winding stairs.
