Holland Is Tackling the Dangers of Texting While Walking

Holland remarked, "If you can't beat them, join them." Since people texting while walking into oncoming traffic is a common problem, the Dutch just opted to change the traffic lights to fit our new habit of continuously checking our phones. They were so smart that they put lights on the crosswalks themselves, like on the ground, so that even people who were texting would see them.
This is wonderful for folks like us who can't stop looking at their phones for more than a minute. Sorry, but we're hooked.
