Even if we disagree on number 2 I would respect the vote of anybody that voted this way.
If people didn’t have different opinions there would be no need to have a Vote.

Thank you for bringing this up because i wondered about this also. It feels very community dependent — wayfarers in the UK have posted a lot of foothpath signs that have been accepted meanwhile on the other side of the world where I am located there are basically none of those types of stops here as it doesn’t get accepted by the community (or so it seems).

Hello @KeldurHMM
It has been a discussion around U.K. markers so far, but it would be lovely to expand it out to look at other places with problems with trail markers. We have had some previous topics discuss ones in other areas of Europe in general and in Germany and BeNeLux. So adding examples from another part of the world would be interesting.
Where I am, which isn’t that far away, very few paths along farmers fields are connections between estates. I agree with #1 and #3, but most PROW (public footpaths, bridleways etc) are nowhere near housing estates and are part of the old public rights of way that developed over hundreds of years and which many people have put a lot of effort into keeping active.
The Ramblers had a campaign recently (“Don’t Lose Your Way”) to try and identify lost routes which should be PROW and try to get them registered before the painfully short deadline before they were lost forever (see, e.g., UK Government set to crush our right to use up to 41,000 miles of paths across England - Ramblers ). That isn’t even for things which could be submitted as waypoints, but for missing routes.
I could point you to over a hundred nearby PROW markers which are definitely not #1, not #2 and not #3, while forming part of the wider PROW network that can be used to wander through the countryside. I think you’re being a little unfair to footpath markers.
