Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
Finally stumbling into one of these clarifications on Trail Markers. This bit below is what Niantic said: a) A marker with the trail name on the trail <- Excellent (Correct) b) A marker with the trail name on a street <- Good (Correct) c) A marker with no trail name on the trail <- Good (Correct) d) A marker with no trail… -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
That's case "d) A marker with no trail name on an open green space area <- Good enough (Correct)" Basically, any marker that's not on pavement. No trail required from that statement. Not telling anyone if they should agree with it or not, but Giffard definitely said it doesn't matter if it's not a trail. -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
I would assume that in this instance trail marker would be a symbol or name for a specific trail eg National Trust coastal path. If it has that it is likely to be accepted but not guaranteed. -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
No - some sort of marker with the name or logo of an official trail on it. Yellow arrows saying "Public Footpath" are also generic mass produced items. -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
Generic, mass produced "Public Footpath" marker. Indicates a Public Right of Way - (PROW), but not a trail. If it were a trail, there would be a trail marker on the post. 1* rejection. -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
Thanks for the reply. So to clarify, as far as you're aware the trail needs a). A marker and b). to be named to be acceptable, and even then its not guaranteed? I know the consensus for years has been instant reject on anything unnamed and any type of public footpath. I don't think Public Footpath signs have ever been… -
Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
What's the latest on Public Footpath signs in rural areas? I thought these may be acceptable based on @NianticGiffard comments recently regarding trail markers. I have had two other submissions - a public footpath leading to a Lake District fell summit and an arrow on an unnamed footpath recently accepted. This got… -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
That’s for a trail with no name, it’s not for a non-trail. Like a bridge: one that’s just infrastructure is ineligible, it has to serve the purpose of exploration to meet criteria… so a marker has to designate something more than just permission to cross. -
Re: Footpath Rejection - Please Clarify
I think @NianticGiffard made 5 points from excellent to good to bad? Unnamed marker, on a trail, not on the street I think was acceptable but that doesn't make it a 5* you might only get 2* and 3* but more likely 1* until the trail marker "meta" shifts in your favour?
