Hiking trail relations and other route relations have already been mapped with the role start on elements at the start of the route (often a guidepost). I suggest you stick to that and try fomalizing it. end seems a good role for the end. lørdag 10. august 2013 skrev Fernando Trebien følgende:

Trailheads are not necessarily start/end or associated with a particular trail. It's more like a train station, a place you go to change from one transport mode to another, from which perhaps multiple trails can be accessed. pgpv5kHKK4rzr.pgp Description: PGP signature

I agree. I have mapped some hiking trails in Korea and noticed there is nothing specific to mark the start of a trail. I suppose it could be done programmatically. It is clear which node is the first one, so it could be rendered differently, with extra detail extracted from the tags on the

If hiking trails are foot route relations, then perhaps trailhead (or more generically head) could be a role in the relation marking where it starts. I think trailhead=yes would work in a node to which you could assign a name tag for the trail. (This is similar to how I've tagged named entrances

Hello, OSM currently has no hiking tracks mapped in Brazil. We are now receiving (copyright-free) POIs of hiking tracks (representing where they start) from a local mapping community (which gathered this data for over a decade). Unfortunately, we do not have the details of the tracks yet, but I
