A finger post naming a right.
Also known as: Finger post, Right of way signpost
The signpost marking a public right of way at its junction with a road.
Marks a public right of way where it leaves a road, and names its class.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
Names the class of right rather than the physical path, so the wording states who may use it — on foot, on horseback, or with a vehicle — and not what the surface is like.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
Asserts a legal right that exists independently of the sign, so removing the post does not remove the right of way — the sign records rather than creates.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
A wooden or metal arm on a post, pointing along the route and lettered with the class of right of way and often a destination and distance.
