Summary with Thesis Statement

In the article “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Christopher Tan (2017) reported that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is implementing a new road-crossing feature at two locations which involves fixing LED strips onto pavements by those pedestrian crossings. These strips will imitate signals of pedestrian crossings and can be seen throughout the entire day. According to an interview by the author, Gopinath Meno, senior research fellow of Nanyang technological University, stated that the installation of the floor lights would enhance safety of those who are constantly looking at their smartphones as they are unaware of the road condition.  
While this initiative get more people aware of road safety, I feel that safety is our own responsibility and raising awareness is equally important to implementing safety initiative.
