OpenStreetMap
Last weekend I was cycling along some of the marked cycle routes and I'm almost sure that one of the signs on the marked route shows the wrong direction. While following FO5/FO12 I arrived at the following crossing coming from east:
osm.org/?mlat=49.6555&mlon=11.1834&zoom=14&layers=00B0FTF
At this crossing the sign for FO5/FO12 guided me towards north-east. However, at the next crossing, there was no sign anymore. So I turned and headed for the small village Pommer, where I found a sign for FO5/FO12 again. So I believe that the road north-east of that crossing is not part of FO5 and that some jokesters have changed the direction of one of the signs at that crossing.
Could you please double-check the sign and the cycle route in case you're eventually close to that crossing.

I think it would be best to contact the user directly rather than posting here... odds are they might not see it. (View - and select the Data overlay layer and the WAY your referring too) i see your name on the route.
and YES, this is exactly why were all working so hard at making OSM right, as even physical signs are WRONG... not just old paper maps. :)

Thank you for the answer. Yes, some of the tracks are from me and I would be glad to fix this problem myself. However, this crossing is quite far from me (at least when cycling), so I doubt that I can make it to this area in the near future.
This post was intended to motivate OSM mappers who are closed to that crossing or might be eventually in that area to have a closer look and fix the map and possibly the sign. However, it might be a good idea to contact the OSM mappers who have been mapping in this area already. Thanks again.
