Photo: Chinese City Launches Special Lane for Cellphone Addicts

Are you addicted to your smartphone(s) like I am? LOL

If you’re tired of walking behind someone who’s a bit more crazy than I am, trudging along as they text, chat or work on their smartphone, then its time you move to this city in china that has created a special lane for cellphone addicts. {like seriously} YES

Last week, the city of Chongqing unveiled a lane specially designated for people who want to walk as they use their cellphones. “Cellphones, walk in this lane at your own risk” is printed in the lane in white lettering. While other lanes beside reads “No cellphones.”

While reacting to this development on Monday, some users were rather not so pleased as some reacted to the news with a mixture of amusement and and some with scorn. 

“It’s such a lazy design. Shouldn't the cellphone lane be placed [farther from the road]? It is not practical at all,” - wrote one user.

Another dismissed the innovation, writing, “It’s just another imitation of foreign inventions,” the user wrote, referring to a similar experiment launched in Washington, D.C., earlier this year. “Besides, it seems only to be serving as a tourist attraction,” the user wrote of the road, which is located in a Chongqing tourist area called “Foreign Street Park.”

Still another wondered whether the road would make anything safer. “Is the goal here to encourage still more people to use their cellphones while walking?

Meanwhile... what do you think? Can this work in Nigeria?
