【Canada】
Transit officials in Melbourne have Canadahad it up to here with you kids and your Pokémon Go.
So, they've done the obvious thing and put up electric road signs all over the city that say, "DON'T DRIVE AND POKEMON."
Starting Wednesday, motorists will be met with the signs in an effort to keep them safe. As Robyn Seymour, director of VicRoads, the transit authority in the Australian state of Victoria, told 3AW, "We know how popular it is and it could be very tempting … We just want to keep everyone safe on the road, so we're asking them not to do that."

And by "that" Robyn means chasing a Flareon around the city while behind the wheel of a moving death machine. Please, don't do that.
A spokesperson from Victoria Police, Natalie Webster, was also quick to voice her Pokémon-related concerns, telling The Herald Sun, "Pokèmon Go has become a worldwide phenomenon and while the charm of a Charmander can be all consuming, it's important to make sure that you're remaining vigilant while playing."

Clearly the master of Pokémon references, Webster was also quick to mention the financial repercussions of driving while playing the game, saying "As well as being very distracting and unsafe, catching a Pikachu while driving could earn you a $466 fine and four demerit points."
