From personal experience, I have had to dodge people outright walking into traffic to cross a road, ignoring all the cars and staring at their phones. This has s happened serval times in the last year for me. The worst offender was someone walking across a 10-lane highway (5 lanes each side with a grass divider) during rush hour traffic.
Same. Daily. WTAF is so important you have to stare at your phone in a crosswalk?
In my cases, there was no crosswalk. Straight up reckless jaywalking.
