“…Manual processes are more prominent for pedestrians and bicyclists. Similarly, aural stimuli are hypothesized to be utilized in pedestrian and bicycling environments (Schwebel, ), but loud music in a car plays a minor role in driver safety (Ünal, Steg, & Epstude, ). Visual and cognitive processes, and the role distraction plays to interfere in those processes, may be more consistent across domains of road engagement.…”

This article examined the impact of mobile technology on young pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers. A systematic search yielded 41 articles meeting inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed, published before February 1, 2016, behavioral outcome related to pedestrian, bicycling, or driving in the presence of mobile technology use, youth sample. Eleven studies were meta-analyzed to evaluate increased risk for crash/near-crash while distracted. Risk of bias and quality of research were assessed. Across methodologies, developmental stages, and type of distracting task, mobile technology use impairs youth safety on the road. Quality of evidence was low (pedestrian) to moderate (driving). Findings are discussed from the perspective of cognitive and visual distractions. Policy and behavioral efforts should continue to reduce mobile technology use in transportation settings.
