Driving the wrong way on a one-way street is not only more wrong morally
(since it can result in a traffic accident, more damaging than two pedestrians
brushing past each other) it is also more wrong legally, since it is, in
fact, a violation of traffic law (whatever that is in your jurisdiction.)
Unless it's someplace with an admission price (like a movie theatre) or
setting off an alarm (fire exit) it's just a convenience, directing you
where to go to do what you probably want, or to the sensor that opens the door.
