You saved the very best two for last. This one, and this one.

This one is dominated by the sign, of course ("No Hopping"?), but the columns make a metropolitan forest of sorts, and the people separate left and right to pass the thing in the middle of the walkway. And yet, we have this fellow at the bottom; the only one not yet committed to a left or right course. He has a huge bag ... maybe this is why he can't decide yet? Go left, and risk hitting the bag on the thing? Or right, and hit the bag on the column. Or maybe change hands and then go left, no right, no ... oh, it's tricky, this is. See his posture. Everyone else has made their decision early, and now they are resigned to their chosen side. Their bodies are closed. Accepting of their fate. But the man with the huge bag is still open. His body language suggests that he knows he still has a decision to make, and he's alert, receptive to clues. I think he's even slowing a bit, just to gain the maximum time before he plays his card.

Possibly I have read a little too much into it? Nah!
