This article at The New York Times on Christmas Day cites an experiment in China and gives numerous examples of walking-while-texting mishaps.
This year, officials in the city of Chongqing, China, created a 100-foot stretch of pavement with pictures of cellphones painted on the ground, that it designated as a walking while texting pathway. While people in the United States seemed to look across the pond with envy at this advancement, officials in China said the whole point of the exercise was to remind people that “it is best not to play with your phone while walking.”
