Abstract
⺠Talking, texting, or listening to music may impact college student pedestrian safety. ⺠138 students randomly assigned to cross a virtual street undistracted or distracted. ⺠Music or texting distraction caused greater likelihood of collision with vehicles. ⺠All distracted individuals looked away from the street environment more often. ⺠Multimedia device distraction has small but meaningful impact on pedestrian safety.
