Bro I hardly see drivers look up from their phones while making turns these days, much less while stopping for pedestrians. It's way more common to see fellow drivers looking down instead of up, it seems like. Sometimes I like to honk to get their attention.

As a pedestrian, I often feel like I need a horn as well to get their attention, or at least cause them to start noticing that they ignored my right of way.
