Pedestrian warningColombia
3. Pedestrian warning
A pedestrian warning is a traffic warning indicating that pedestrians may be crossing or entering the roadway ahead. It is commonly used near pedestrian crossings or other locations where drivers need advance notice of frequent pedestrian activity.
Drivers approaching a pedestrian warning should reduce speed when necessary, watch carefully for pedestrians and be prepared to stop. The design of the warning sign and the priority rules at the crossing vary between countries.

How should I react to a pedestrian warning in Colombia?
Reduce speed, look along both sides of the road and be ready to stop. The warning identifies a pedestrian hazard ahead; children, people with limited mobility or others may enter the road unexpectedly.
Does a pedestrian warning in Colombia identify the crossing itself?
Not necessarily. An advance warning alerts you to danger ahead. The actual crossing is identified by its own signs, markings or signals. Apply the crossing rules when you reach it, and follow any supplementary distance information.

Drivers must respect pedestrian safety, crossings and traffic signals. Give particular protection to children, elderly people and people with disabilities. A warning sign does not remove the pedestrian duties in the National Traffic Code.
