A fingerpost (sometimes referred to as a guide post) is a traditional type of sign post primarily used in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, consisting of a post with one or more arms, known as fingers, pointing in the direction of travel to places named on the fingers. The posts have traditionally been made from cast iron or wood, with poles painted in black, white or grey and fingers with black letters on a white background, often including distance information in miles. In most cases, they are used to give guidance for road users, but examples also exist on the canal network, for instance. They are also used to mark the beginning of a footpath, bridleway, or similar public path.

  • Eine Armsäule, auch Armensäule genannt, ist eine historische Form des Wegweisers. Diese Säulen waren aus Holz und zuletzt z. T. aus Stein gefertigt und zeigten dem Reisenden über Jahrzehnte den Weg. Heute existieren nur noch historische Aufzeichnungen und Rekonstruktionen der Holzwegweiser bzw. Reste von Wegweisern mit einem Steinschaft. (de)
