No one can afford to miss an email or reply to a chat late, even if that means checking their phones when crossing the street. However, soon they could hit with a fine for doing so. A bill banning texting while walking has been introduced into New York's state senate. If the bill is passed into law, then New Yorkers can face fines up to $25 to $250 if cops catch them using a portable electronic device while crossing roadway.
