Warning.

That is a very useful sign.

@ed-davis it sure is. You see it all the time.

They would probably interpret it as meaning "Texting permitted in crosswalk".

Useful for who ?  I need a hood ornament.

Walking like that has got to wreck your neck.  

I was in downtown San Francisco, in the 'art' district and I was on my way to catch the boat back to Marin when I saw a very lovely young woman in a restaurant gazing out of an open window.  The restaurant was elevated above the ground by about three feet and eventually her eyes met mine so I smiled at her and my smile was returned.  As I drew even with the window I then saw a young man sitting across the table from her with his cellphone glued to his ear.  Mind you, this girl was stunning.  I was in my forties and even though I was in shape, I had no illusions about my attractiveness to a twenty-something lass, but I paused and said "hello," and she returned my greeting, with another smile.  By this time he noticed me and glared at me, but I just looked at her, then back at him and said, "Are you kidding me?  There is nothing in the world that can be that bloody important."  She laughed, he put the phone down, and I went on my way.  And, this was thirty years ago...

Today, when I see young people with their faces glued to a cellphone I wonder what they just missed around them.  What opportunity did they not see, what incredible person did they not meet, what sights did they miss?  There is a beauty in life experiences that cannot be replaced by technology, no matter how hard they try.

Oh I've seen these signs. Never certain what they meant. I have reasoned that they are one of two things. They warn of either Zombies or people walking with thier minds in a cell phone. Come to think of it - their one and the same!!

Artificial living.

My partner just passed my desk and I showed him the warning sign, and commented: 'Oh, yes.  Generation Bent.'

I encountered many scenes like that over the last 12yrs of visiting college campus’s in SoCal.
