It's a familiar sight: seeing someone indulged in their phone while walking on the pavement. If there's anyone like me, the distraction can be quite hazardous when there's oncoming obstacles like lampposts and post boxes.

The Chinese city of Chongqing has come up with an ingenious, albeit drastic solution for the modern problem: a pavement dedicated to mobile phone users.

Similar to the concept of a bicycle path, mobile phone users walking along the arrowed pavement can safely indulge themselves in their technological habit without the worry of bumping into unwitting pedestrians.

If you have trouble staying in your lane you could try the Type n Walk app that lets you see obstacles in your path while you text.

Some months ago there was a piece about a woman that walked into the side of a moving train. The train knocked her on her butt, but no serious injuries.
