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?

Oh dear! Someone didn't do their homework.
Sikhs are NOT Muslims. Sikhism is its own religion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism [wikipedia.org]
In today's lesson we learned: Just because someone has (typically) darker skin, and (typically) wears a turban and might (typically) have a beard, that doesn't mean that they are Muslim.
People and their religions come in all sorts of varieties. Isn't this amazing? :-)

So are you backing off your morally superior "supposedly" criticism post because you caught him on a technicality? It seems to me that your original high-horsiness statement applies whether he's talking about muslims or sikhs.
