I couldn’t find the article (it’s a few years old), but I think it was in Germany that they started padding light posts, sign posts etc. because people kept walking into them when they were looking at their phones.
Seen a teenage punk on a bike do that. Ran into the pole, knocked him, the phone went into the street and was run over. I never laughed so hard in my life.
