I don't care if this is a joke. This is brilliant.
To quote the Grey Lady's blog:
"everyone seems to agree that dividing the sidewalk into separate lanes for fast-moving locals and lollygagging tourists would definitely be the way to go, if such a thing were feasible. It is a new solution to an age-old problem, one not at all limited to New Yorkers."
If other cities would institute this, I would willingly stay on my side of the sidewalk. Plus, it would keep me from entertaining thoughts of pushing people out of my way. I'm usually a gentle creature, but OY!
Don't get me started on people who HAVE to text and walk, or can't talk and walk on their cells, or have to stop HALF WAY DOWN OR UP THE STAIRS in order to deal with their electronic devices. Really!? You have to stop in the middle of the stairs?!
And then there were these spoofs of MTA Advisory signs, as created by the artist Jason Shelowitz.
He might be being sarcastic, but it's still true. I'd say the MTA should spend the money and buy the rights to these and put them up. Especially this one ....

Texters and pervs beware. Don't annoy me. You'll see commuter-rage!

LOL - I agree that these signs need to be posted immediately.
