The first mobile phone sidewalks in China have been spotted along Foreigner Street in Chongqing city, reports News.cn.

Chongqing is a major city in Southwest China and one of the five national central cities in the People's Republic of China. As you can see in the photos below, the sidewalk is divided into two lanes. One for people using their cellphones and one for people who are not.

Apparently, most people still walk in traffic rather than use either lane but the idea is an interesting one.


Do you think major U.S. cities should implement mobile phone sidewalk lanes? Who you use them? Let us know in the comments!

There's no sense using the mobile phone lane. You're best chance of not walking into someone is using the regular lane where oncomers can see you approaching. In the mobile lane, no one is looking at anything besides their phones.

What's the point. I can quickly look up to know where I am and can see around the area of my phone.

Don't really think its necessary for pedestrians...difficult to enforce, smartphone makers should design a pedestrian mode for the phone.
