Fox News:美国走路时发短信将要被罚款

The proposed legislation prompted by a William Patterson University study of people distracted by their smart phones while walking:“We observed around 20,000 pedestrians and what we found was that about 1/3 of pedestrians were distracted when crossing on the walk signal.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, we found that nearly 40% were distracted on a don't walk signal, so that would be darting out in the street.”
That's study author Dr. Corey Basch.
The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, would impose a $50 fine for texting while walking.
