Can people walking slow it down???
How, if people would still be in motion together with the station?
If thing on space worked like that, they would need no copmbustion propulsion, just a axis with a electric motor to spin thing.
On Space as it have no sustantion point to the force of spin, you have no way to change.
But let's supose you are right, it would be a matter of manage people flux from one direction to another, to compensate.
