So I and another pedestrian took a step back off the near lane to stand on the sidewalk of the tram stop, meanwhile the 3rd pedestrian, glued to her phone, is standing in the middle of the near lane waiting for the cars of the far lane to come to a stop. I was totally bemused, she didn't seem to realize at all she was in the middle of the road, luckily there were no cars coming. Then again the level of driver attention where I live is very good, they would've spotted her. On Instagram I see a lot of car crashes, mostly from the US and China. It seems like a lot of drivers go at a very high speed and are distracted...
