The signage in Colombia follows the American way of doing and similar signs can be found all over the continent. The careful roadsign watcher however will notice that it is possible to discern two groups of countries based on the posture of the persons :

⦿ Countries where the persons are running or ready to set off for a sprint: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.

⦿ Countries where they are quietly waiting or walking: Costa Rica, U.S. of A., Venezuela.
