Local to me the 'Great North Walk' is signposted in many different ways.
e.g.
Post with directional arrows

Some of these posts have no name plate so those may not be recognized by
those unfamiliar.

There are signboards indicating ways to the Great North Walk ..
unfortunately labeled 'Great North Walk' leaving off the 'To the' so
leading to miss-tagging of these paths/tracks - they are 'approach'
paths/tracks/roads.

This wikipedia "Trail blazing"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_blazing> article (which takes
trailblazed and wayarked as meaning the same thing), has a nice
picture collection of way markings.

It's still tricky. Around here, few trails are actually
signposted;
some don't have a sign anywhere! They're marked with paint
blazes in
the woods, guideposts in the fields, and cairns above the
tree line.
Not a native speaker, but I thought that paint blazes,
guideposts, cairns, signs, surface markings, special traffic signs,
information boards, markings by cutting on trees, ribbons,
wooden poles etc all may be used to signpost a trail.
My 2p from England:
I suspect it'd vary around the world but I'd certainly say "that
trail is signposted" if all there was was a characteristic paint
blaze that "everyone recognises" as matching a particular trail.
Best Regards,
Andy
