description/mission statement:
Alongside the highway in many countries you will see brown white signs telling about nearby tourist attractions. On the sign there is drawing and the name of the attraction.
I have seen these signs in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium and France and they are probably in many other countries.
The purpose of this group is to gather information and links to lists of these signs if possible. Like this:
http://vejdirektoratet.dk/DA/om-os/nyheder-og-presse/nyheder/Sider/Turisttavler-langs-motorvejene-i-hele-landet.aspx
or this:
http://www.spiegel.de/auto/fahrkultur/touri-tafeln-an-der-autobahn-oh-wie-schoen-ist-pinneberg-a-625855.html
The idea of the waymark category is to find a sign AND the related tourist attraction and where it is located. For example:
At the German Autobahn there is a sign telling about "Ozeanium Stralsund"

The real Ozeanium is here:

In Denmark there is a sign telling about Legoland here: (visit link) real Legoland is here:
https://www.google.dk/maps/place/LEGOLAND+Billund+Resort/@55.7355139,9.1246159,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x464b717428bfa99b:0xfba38e2c20ba313a
We will limit it to signs alongside the highways. Some of them can be seen from a safe location (bridges, trails etc). We do not want people to take photoes while driving! Find a location where the sign can be seen. Document it with a photo and find the relating tourist attraction. Take a photo of the area AND at least one photo of a sign with the name of the attraction corresponding to the text on the tourist sign.
