Thailand gets its first dedicated 'mobile phone lane' for pedestrians Thursday Oct 22,2015

 
Thailand's first "mobile phone lane" for pedestrians has been implemented at Bangkok's Kasetsart University (KU)

The 500-metre footpath was divided into two lanes to separate phone users from non-users. The initiative, proposed by KU students and sponsored by Toyota Thailand, has been implemented on a trial basis until November 15,2015

Note

In September 2014, China's Chongqing city announced plans to set up a "mobile phone lane" for pedestrians on the footpath of a short section of the downtown road for people with smartphones. The initiative was apparently inspired by a US model in which a similar dual-lane arrangement was created in Washington DC, in July 2014 as part of a televised behavioural experiment
