A 100ft-stretch of pavement in the city of Chongqing claims to be the first street for mobile phone addicts in China, with a lane specially painted for people who have their eyes glued to their screens.
"First mobile phone sidewalks [sic] in China," says a blue sign at the entrance to the street, which has been divided in two with a white line.
Mobile phone users are instructed to use one side, with white arrows painted on the ground to show them the direction to walk in while they gaze at their devices.
The idea appears to have been copied almost exactly, down to the stencils spray painted on the pavement, from a project by a television programme on the National Geographic channel earlier this year.
That programme found that only a few people changed which side of the pavement they walked on after spotting the signs. Full story...
