A Moses Magoo is
one whose attention is preoccupied with the functions of a cellphone while walking, thus impeding the ability to focus on pedestrian traffic beyond
one's own limited periphery, relying upon others to part, clearing a path before him or her.
This is a combined allusion to the biblical Moses, who parted the Red Sea and to the cartoon character Mister Magoo, who was notoriously near-sighted and resultantly accident prone.

cut someone off or to interfere in the
smooth flow of pedestrian traffic because of a pre-occupation with a cellphone or similar device.
