The drivers need to put the cell phone down, of course - I was almost run over by an Amazon Prime truck when the driver was on a phone - but the pedestrians need to put the phone down too. Six years ago I was using Google maps to find my way around as a pedestrian, and I walked directly into a pole. Where I live the local news recently did a special on distracted pedestrians walking into things. I know a lot of people like to use headphones to walk around and listen to music, but I also think your ears are a MUST HAVE if you're walking anywhere there could be cars. It's the driver's responsibility to stop, but I live in an area with a lot of blind hills, and you need to hear the car before it crests if you're in the road.
