Most of us are guilty of walking and texting, or walking with our noses buried in our smartphones. For the most part this is still legal (although there are some places where youcould get in trouble for it), but it is also dangerous. This is because you could potentially bump into someone and knock them down, or you could walk into traffic without knowing it.
Well according to news reports out of China (via Cult of Mac), it seems that the Chinese government is hoping to do something about it by creating lanes on walkways just for people who use their phones as they walk. The image above shows a street in Chongqing City in China in which the lane is divided into two lanes – one for people not on their phones, and one for people that are.
It’s an admittedly interesting solution to what seems to be a growing problem. However given that your nose is buried in your phone, what’s stopping you from stumbling into the no-cellphone lane anyway, right? However we suppose the no-cellphone lane is good for those who just wants to walk briskly without having to walk behind those who are too busy with their phones to notice that they are blocking the way, but what do you guys think?
