Subject:
Waymark
What
is a waymark?
Waymarking
is the posting of waymarks, which are signs placed along a route to help
travelers follow the route. They may be intended for travelers on foot, on a
bicycle, on a horse, in a vehicle or in any mode of transportation. The inuksuk
was an early type of waymark. Milestones, common in Europe, are also a form of
waymark.
