Texting pedestrian lanes, serious and/or half-joking.

Utah Valley University has recently installed texting lanes for distracted walkers.

Recently, a cellphone company in Antwerp, Belgium painted ‘text walking lanes’ on sidewalks there, as a marketing stunt.

Last year, the Chinese city of Chongqing introduced a cellphone lane for pedestrians, on a stretch of sidewalk.

On April Fool’s Day, 2012, in Philadelphia, the city council jokingly introduced ‘e-lanes’, as an April Fool’s joke.

Joking aside, one wonders if such could become a wider reality; doesn’t seem entirely far-fetched, IMO…
