Thanks to those looking and commenting already. I have a bunch more people
to post.
'Dashing' is also a fine example for the theory that the photographer
inevitably affects the situation just by being there.
I saw the poster and set up the shot of course, waiting for a suitable
subject to pass in front. This lady saw me standing right on the footpath
edge with camera angled down as though waiting for her to pass before I
shot.
The lady suddenly sped up from her walk to get out of my way!  Delightful
and I called a thank you to her for helping make a lovely photo.
