Pedestrians in Victoria are being urged to look up from their phones and try using just one headphone, so they're not distracted when walking near traffic following a spike in pedestrian deaths.
Victoria Police says more pedestrians have died in the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017 - 17 this year compared to 11 in 2017.
"In the last 12 months we've had a significant increase in pedestrian deaths on our roads," Road policing assistant commissioner Doug Fryer told reporters on Saturday.
