Cycling in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

Toronto City Council actually passed a motion yesterday to request that the Province make it illegal to use a mobile device while walking.

There is a Japanese word for this: arukisumaho, smartphone walking.  When I did a count of pedestrians in Tokyo sometime last year, something close to 60% were using a mobile phone (and, no, not usually talking).

Anyway, in the highly unlikely scenario that this would ever become law, pedestrians would be unable to use a smartphone (or another device) for navigation, that would be available only for cyclists and drivers.
