us: NY Senator Wants iPods Out of Crosswalks
New York pedestrians could find themselves on the wrong side of the law just for crossing the street while chatting on a cell phone or listening to an iPod if state Senator Carl Kruger gets his way. The New York lawmaker plans to introduce legislation to make it illegal to use portable electronic devices such as a BlackBerry or PlayStation Portable game console while crossing the street. The legislation comes after the deaths of two pedestrians in Sen. Kruger’s Brooklyn district within the past five months.
