When the officials in the city of Augsburg noticed how people never looked up from their smartphones and ignored traffic signals, they decided to do something about it.
Hence came the invention of installing traffic lights right into the sidewalk. The genius idea was based on the premise that pedestrians wouldn't have to tear their eyes away from their phones while crossing a road. They can continue using their phones and won't miss the lights in the sidewalk.
