Italy’s Ministry of Transport is proposing a new road safety measure: fining pedestrians caught using their mobile phones while crossing roads. The proposed penalty for this offense would exceed 75 euros, or approximately 1800 Czech crowns. This initiative is part of a broader reform of the country’s traffic rules, aimed at reducing accidents. Authorities believe distracted walking due to phone usage poses a significant risk to pedestrian safety. The move seeks to deter individuals from being inattentive while navigating roadways. If implemented, it would represent an unusual approach to pedestrian traffic enforcement. The goal is to encourage greater awareness and responsibility among those on foot.
