This is indeed not clear from the draft description. I will try to update it to make it more clear. In general with most of the existing relations there is only one relation between two signposts. In rare cases there are hiking routes that are signed in only one direction. In these cases, based on Michael Spreng`s advice, I put a signed_direction=yes (e.g. [1]).
Mapping hiking times was also already previously mentioned. I'm not sure what the best way would be to map them. Typically, hiking times on guideposts are shown to a selection of "hiking destinations". The closest destination is not necessarily the next guidepost with a white label. In Ticino I saw that somebody mapped hiking times [2], but to be honest I do not yet fully understand how this works.
For hiking times you should use the destination_sign relation https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:destination_sign
or, much more simple, the direction_* tags https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:direction_north
The documentation for the direction tags is somewhat lacking but basically you add the destination + time separated with semicolon. Best to look at an example here: https://osm.mueschelsoft.de/destinationsign/example/index.htm#node=379405862...
The same information is also shown on waymarkedtrails, when you click on a guidepost with direction information: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#guidepost?id=3794058627 You just can't see if direction information is available until you open the guidepost information.
