Everyone, please translate. 大量生産だが、他の基準を満たしているものは掲示板などを除き否認すべきなのでしょうか？最近、サイクリングロードの目印となっている、ブロックの申請を見つけました。運動の場所としては適切です。しかし、このブロックは交差点が3つある毎ぐらいに設置されています。否認すべきですか？大量生産でも一部の地域でしか見られず、独自性のあるものなら承認すべきですか

If the writing on the blocks is a trail marker, this is eligible, regardless of the blocks themselves being just infrastructure.

The “mass product” rejection criteria - wasn’t that ages ago? Something that was in 2019. There were many players of the other game that went berserk if someone submitted a trail marker. Is there any reference to mass produced items in 2026 criteria?

I think that the trail markers I am familiar with are useful for following a trail because they are mass produced. The trail is the interesting thing, as the clarification says, and markers are an identifiable point that keeps people moving along it. I didn’t comment on these because I was not clea…

If ‘名水’ is an abbreviation for the 名古屋市水道局(Nagoya City Waterworks Bureau), then isn’t this likely a waterworks sign indicating major water pipes underground, rather than a cycling road sign?

To reiterate: This is not a sign indicating a cycling path. It is a bollard to prevent vehicle access. The characters engraved on that bollard are “名水” (Meisui).
