The invention relates to a transparent balustrade (12) of an escalator (1) or a moving walkway comprising a balustrade base (13), at least one glass panel (33), and a handrail guide (15) with a handrail (14). The at least one glass panel (33) has an upper edge (9) and a lower end (6) and is clamped at the lower end (6) thereof in a stationary manner in a holder (18) in the balustrade base (13). The transparent balustrade (12) contains at least one support (20) which is connected fixedly to the balustrade base (13). The glass panel (33) can be deformed elastically orthogonally with respect to the surface extent thereof and therefore in the lateral direction. As a result of the elastic deformability, the glass panel (33) has a lateral deflectability within a permissible deformation play (s) for absorbing transverse forces (F), wherein lateral deflectability within the permissible deformation play (s) is limited by the support (20).
