Completely agree here. With the Four Mile Run trail connector near Shirlington finished up, my wife and I have been biking that way fairly often. I always get confused about which way I'm supposed to go at certain underpasses and where the trails meet. I resorted to asking people on the trail the first time and everyone said "oh, the W&OD starts up there, I think". I turns out I was already on it, but no sign told me so.

This really needs to be brought to the attention of bike and ped planners in the area. Someone needs to develop a set of standards and require it. Markings for trails, exits to streets, trail intersections, and upcoming destinations (with mileage) to each should all be required. Not to mention there should be maps of the area at major trail intersections like there are outside of Metro stations, just in case the markings weren't enough for some people.
