Trail blazing is to create a tree mark by cutting off the bark to indicate the trail direction through the jungle. How to tag with signs, or other markers, is used in the forested landscape, and in outdoor recreation areas. In either case, fire, or marker, follow each other at an unspecified interval determined by the judgment of the person who burns on the street. They are placed so that tourists will not lose track and will understand the intersection of the road.
There are several ways to mark a trail: cat , engraving , paste marker , posts , mark , cairns , and crosses , with the most widely used paint.

Jenis signage
Cat
Painted signs with consistent shapes or shapes (often rectangles), dimensions and colors or color combinations are used along the trail route. The system in which blazes are used to indicate turns and end points on the track (see below) strongly supports the use of fire paint.
European countries typically use bar systems or shapes that are painted in more than one color. The Central European Mark System illustrated above is one. The system uses three bars - usually one color between two white bars, with different meanings attached to different colors - within 10 cm x 10 cm square. Red is often used to mark difficult or peak paths. Arrows with similar designs indicate a change of direction. Originally made in the Czech Republic, the system is used in Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Bosnia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Georgia, Brazil, and other countries. The French, Italian, Austrian and Swiss lines use a similar white and color line system.
In the United States and Canada, one color is used, usually white, red, blue or yellow. The paths in South Africa are often marked with yellow footprints painted on trees and rocks.
Blazes can also be painted on clear stone surfaces or on piles attached to the ground (or on an electric pole, fence, or other useful surface) where the trail follows the path or passes through the fields and pastures.
Engraving
in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, there are paths that are wounded with bark made with axes or knives, usually the first. Most often this is an informal route made by loggers or hunters, or paths of the route. Initially the tree will be turned on by the ax meat (still the dictionary definition) but today other methods have become more common, with environmental and aesthetic problems sometimes playing a part in the choice of blazing methods. Other navigational aids, such as cairns, are used if the blaz is not appropriate.
In 1902 Idaho miners created and marked the Three Blaze Trace Trail with a series of three special lines that cut trees, usually with axes, to determine specific routes to the Guntur Mine in Central Idaho.
Paste markers
Alternatively, more durable plastics, metals or even sometimes wooden markers can be embedded in trees, usually with spikes. Placement of these markers requires more skill and labor than paint, as well as areas with abundant supply of trees to attach them.
Flag
Surveyor bands hung on branches or tied around trees sometimes used to mark trail routes, but usually only for temporary or unofficial lines, most often when the route path has been chosen but the trace itself is under construction. Flags are sometimes used for permanent paths, but they are the most vulnerable to the elements of any blistering trail method and may be more difficult to see.
Trail flagging is the main method for marking a hiking trail in Japan. The red ribbon usually shows the climbing route while the yellow ribbon shows the descending route. In some mountains, non-standard tape colors (white or blue) are used to identify a specific trace.
Polish
Poles, colored or not, are often used to keep tracks visible during winter and under snow cover. Poland is a standard trail marker in Austria, Canada, US, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Slovakia.
Cairns
Cairns carefully arranged a pile of stones. Cairns is most often used to indicate paths in open areas, such as higher elevation alpen areas, where no trees are available, or where conditions can make it difficult to see. An ancient example is inuksuk (plural inuksuit), used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and others from the North Pole region of North America. This structure is found from Alaska to Greenland. This region, above the Arctic Circle, is dominated by a tundra biome and has territories with several natural landmarks.
Under the tree line, cairns are used less frequently, often like marking to indicate informal or unofficial lines or just crossing them with official channels. They may become blurred by snow in areas with severe winters and may easily be thrown. In some areas, recreational buildings of various monuments have obscured the proper use of monuments to mark intersections and intersections. In some areas of the United States, park guards and land managers must dismantle the liquid remains when they become ferrets or when they mislead navigation.
Where rock is a rare pole can be used. Poles are also often used to mark the footsteps of skiing and snow boots.
Duck trail
Duck is a term used in some parts of the United States, generally for a much smaller pile of rock than a rough pyramid, usually stacked high enough to convince observers that it is unnatural. For the most part, two stacked stones can be a coincidence, but the three stacked stones are a duck. In some areas, ducks also contain pointing stones (or several stacked stones) to indicate the direction of the trail.
Cross
Cross roads are crossed by paths, paths or roads, at intersections, along the edge of the field or in the forest, which often serve as a way for pedestrians and pilgrims or pointing to dangerous places. They are very common in Europe, for example in Germany, Galicia and the Alps. Can be made of wood, stone or metal. The most cross-sided path is designed as a cross.

Prominence
In the US wilderness area, whether state or federal, the US Desert Law requires that the land seems "undisturbed by humans," and once the fire is kept to a minimum. In contrast, in typical city or county parks, or open land for various users, or in well-developed metropolitan areas, fire will be more frequent. Single-track hiking trails also receive more fire than those that follow the old path or other clearer routes.
System
On a large piece of land, there may be more than one trace. While it may seem obvious that, at least, traces should at least have different colors, this is not always done. At Mount Greylock State Reservation, which contains the highest mountain in Massachusetts, all the lanes other than the Appalachian Trail use the same blue flame.
Blaze types can also be mixed when different user groups (ie, snowmobilers, horsemen, mountain bikers) are allowed on the track. For faster vehicle users, blazes are often larger to look better at high speeds, and sometimes the best-attached bookmarks communicate that may and may not use traces other than those on foot.
Another possible difference is based on the season. In Norway, it is common to use blue for summer and red routes for winter routes. The red route can cross lakes and swamps, which are flat and suitable for cross-country skiing in the winter, but traversed on foot in summer.
Color is often given only with the eye towards ensuring that no two paths intersect using the same, but it can be more than that. In all state lands in New York's Catskill Park, for example, the main line, especially the longer "long-haul" of long distances, use red markers if they head east-west in general and blue if they go north- South. Spur lines, shorter loops or connectors generally use yellow flames.
At times when two paths are running simultaneously, usually at slightly staggered intersections, only one path can be signed, often with longer trafficking or more trafficked trafficking that dominates. In other cases, like southern Vermont where the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail follow the same path, the two paths may be using the same white fire.
A very different flame system, called mute dumbness created in the Czech part of Krkono? E. Fire, cutting sheet metal and painted red, hanging on high poles, so visible to pedestrians and skiers. Unlike in classical systems, they do not refer to paths or walkways, but point the way to nearby mountain huts and nearby towns and villages with the possibility of overnight and catering.
National Trails in the UK generally use acorn symbols. The National Cycle Network in the UK is marked using a white bicycle symbol on a blue background, with a white route number in the inset box, but with no name or destination distance. National Route Number has a red background, Regional Route has a background blue . The symbol system is based on that used by the Danish National Cycle Route network.
The colors used can also indicate the status of the route, for example on the National Trails in the UK yellow marks used for walkways, blue for bridleways, and red for open byways for all traffic.
Meaning of trace marks
In addition to convincing users of traces that they are on the path, the information boards can remind them of an imminent turn, especially if there is confusion about what might be a trace, and where the trail begins and ends.
Offset blazes, a system in which a pair of vertically stacked vertebrae, with the top offset by a road-traversed path, was created in 1969 by Bob Fuller, a volunteer for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. This system was first used in 1970 at the Beech Trail in Harriman State Park. The system is increasingly refined to where the pattern of triangle spots will show the tip, the point up or down depending on whether it is the beginning or the end. Some paths instead use two flames painted together at an angle to form the shape "L" to indicate the turn, with an angle between two flares indicating the angle and direction of the turn. In addition, another path may use two non-offset stacks of fire to show a straight trace where confusion may occur. In some areas, a triangle pattern with an upward point indicates that the pedestrian is at a sharp switchback point.
In the Netherlands, signage usually consists of two bars on top of each other: white-red, yellow-red and red-blue are often seen blazing. Subsequent changes are shown by duplicating embers: white-red-white-red, yellow-red-yellow-red, etc. Currently, stickers are often used, and instead of duplicating the flames, the rectangle is cut into an arrow, to indicate the direction. A diagonal cross is used to indicate which direction should be not taken: the cross will have the same color as the flame (each rod will use a different color).
