A new study out of UBC shows that distracted pedestrians who are using a phone while crossing the road are at a 45 per cent higher risk of near misses and more severe traffic conflict outcomes.
Distracted cyclists are also more likely to be involved in collisions, although they weren’t studied in this particular research.
The study was conducted by Tarek Sayed , a professor of civil engineering at UBC.
