Too many people write messages while hodby

When the government of Chongqing have realized that they can not forbid people to correspond to the messages or the Internet while you are walking, they decided to minimize the risk. So they created a special track for pedestrians who are hopelessly addicted to their phones and gadgets.



The track was made on Foreyn Street - Street of Chongqing tourism - in order to reduce collisions. The sidewalk is divided into two halves: one labeled "with mobile phones, walk at your own risk," the second - "without a mobile phone».

"This street is always a lot of elderly people and children, and walking with mobile phones can cause collisions," - said Nong Cheng, a spokesman for the property management area. She also hinted that the initiative should be perceived with irony to emphasize the danger of correspondence while walking.



The idea is wonderful, but you will tear off their looks from pedestrians phones to even notice the signs? It was found that the change was seen. Many pedestrians seem to be a sign of fun, why stop to take pictures, and share them on social networks. Unfortunately, Cheng said that even though they see the signs, most pedestrians do not follow instructions.



The inspiration for the creation of a special track in Chongqing began to experiment, conducted by «National Geographic» Washington: they shared the sidewalk in half, leaving one lane corresponded to pedestrians.
