eli5: Why is there a -no mobile phone- sign at gas stations?

251 views

There are always signs that show the ban of cigarettes, matches and phones at gas stations. I can imagine fire being dangerous around gas, but you can’t possibly blow up a gas station with a mobile phone, can you?

It’s because people don’t pay attention when they are on their phones. That causes a hazard when handling an explosive liquid.
