Shanghai pedestrians should prepare themselves for the walk of shame, local media reported today, thanks to new plans to curb traffic violations.
The police are to post photos and videos of jaywalkers in newspapers and on television to embarrass them into obeying the rules in future.
Traffic police have recorded no fewer than 7.78 million jaywalking violations at junctions in the city already this year, Shanghai Daily added.
Cyclists and moped riders also face public humiliation under the new scheme. Pictures of miscreants will be taken at selected spots and published in regular newspaper columns or shown on specially created television programmes.
