In an effort to raise awareness of the dangers of walking and texting, China has opened separate walkways for people who are using their cell phones, and people who aren’t. They’re meant to be ironic though, and encourage people to think before texting and knocking over somebody’s grandma and breaking her hips. That poor old lady. You monster!
The special 50-metre route was mapped out in the Chinese city of Chongqing and at first seemed as if they was intended to make the journey of smartphone users easier.
But Nong Cheng, who works for area managers the Meixin Group, confirmed the lanes were meant to be ironic and remind people it’s dangerous to tweet while walking the street.
