    City council will now ask the Ministry of Transportation to consider an amendment that would prohibit "pedestrians from actively using a handheld wireless communication device or handheld electronic entertainment device while on any travelled portion of a roadway."

    But look at this:

    " A staggering 879 pedestrians and 412 cyclists were hit by cars from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2016. That’s nearly five pedestrians and two cyclists per day."

    And it's pedestrians they want to regulate further? Hmm.
