Should we have mobile and non-mobile pedestrian lanes?

Chongqing city in China has set up an exclusive path for mobile phone addicts. We're asking: Should the UK do the same?

People in China spend so much time on their mobile phones that it has become a major factor to consider in pedestrian management. So much so, that the city of Chongqing has created a separate mobile phone lane for pedestrians. 

The 100-foot stretch of path is labelled with large signs, in Chinese and English, warning pedestrians to walk in the correct lane. Reportedly, one lane says “Cell phones, walk in this lane at your own risk,” and the other, “no cell phones.”

Is it time for London to do this? Or is this a stupid idea? Let us know what you think!
