Signpost
A "Signpost" is a marker or indicator that provides direction or guidance to travelers. Typically found along roads, trails, or pathways, signposts display information such as distances, directions, and points of interest. They help people navigate unfamiliar areas and ensure they stay on the right path.
In addition to physical signposts, the term can also refer to figurative signposts in communication, such as cues or phrases that guide listeners through a conversation or presentation. These verbal signposts help clarify the structure of the information being shared, making it easier for the audience to follow along and understand the main points.
