Pedestrians who are glued to their phone while walking have become an issue around the world. Now, two Swedish artists in Stockholm have designed a traffic sign to criticize smartphone obsession.
The sign urges people to stop staring at their phones while walking in the street. The odd triangular signs, which depict a man and a woman with heads bowed as they stare at their phones, initially caused a stir in the Swedish capital when they first appeared around the city in November. Since then, news of the signs has gradually spread around the world on social media.
