Thank you for all the advice and information you gave to me! I started to map my region with a more "standard" method. I'm using "destination_sign" type relationships to represent guidepost information.


Example of guidepost (new):

https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#guidepost?id=290083923

I also add a picture of each of these guideposts in Wikimedia Commons :-)


Example relationship (new):

https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=13291245


Happy mapping !

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=3794058627

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.
