At least some guide posts are to guide people along a particular route, particularly where a few paths meet, where the route diverges off the main path/road, or where there has been a long distance since the last guide post. Some of these are simply small signs with symbols only, nailed to a fa

Hi, I'd argue that in most cases it is wrong to add the guidepost at all to the route, with ot without role. They are not part of the route they just happen to be along the side of it. We don't add direction signs on motorways to a motorway relation either just because the motorway happens to be
