Regardless of whether there are roads or not, it's generally a good idea to look where you're going.
That goes with out saying.
Yes, you directly did say that. I said:
Wouldn't they be better off protecting pedestrians by speaking about the dangers of walking onto the road while looking at your phone?
You replied with:
No. they should protect pedestrians by making cities safer to walk about in. Our urban spaces should not be ruled by fast moving vehicles and made impassable by roundabouts and junctions. Peds should have priority.

You asked if speaking about the dangers of looking at your phone would be better than making roads safer, I said no, making roads safer would be better. That's different to saying speaking about the dangers of looking at your phone should not be done at all. It's a question of priority, the two things are not mutually exclusive.

In an ideal world, yes. Or looking at a map, talking to a freind, looking at the sky, whatever. I hate the fact our cities are dominated by dangerous roads.
You can't prevent all accidents, but I think our urban spaces are could be more ped freindly.
I never said that. Of course it's a good idea to teach people road safety. but I think its better / more important to make more of our spaces safer.
