Pavement lights have been installed at a pedestrian crossing in a Netherlands town to help smartphone users cross the road safely.
The light strips are designed to catch the eye of people looking down at their device, and change colour to match traffic signals.
The lure of games and social media has come "at the expense of attention to traffic", said councillor Kees Oskam.
But Dutch road safety group VVN said the idea "rewards bad behaviour".
Augsburg, Germany has done much the same thing according to the Washington Post.
Will pavement lights built into kerbs curb accidents?
