Swedish Artist’s Road Signs Warn Against Smartphone Usage, But Government Wants Them DOWN

    A Swedish artist is attempting to send a message about
    smartphone usage by placing several traffic signs, depicting two pedestrians
    looking down at their smartphones, around the streets of Stockholm.
    29-year-old Jacob, Sempler realized that he was addicted to
    his smartphone after nearly being hit by a car while walking down the streets
    of Stockholm. Now he is looking to spread his message and encourage people to
    keep their heads up as they walk.
    “One day on my way to work I was almost run over
    because I was staring at my phone like a sick person,” he told The Local.
    “It hit me then that I’m not the only one with this behavior and that it
    ought to be addressed somehow.”
    Sempler and his creative partner Emil Tiismann set out to do
    just that by creating the signs and placing them in various locations around
    Sweden.
    The signs have caught the attention of many passers-by who
    have shared the signs via social media.
    However, local traffic authorities have said the signs will
    be taken down because they are not official traffic signals.
