I guess I need to go rip out a couple hundred km of trails that I have
added to the OSM database because not a single one of them have a sign
on them.

Most of the walking and bicycle trails in the city don't even have
signs on them, let alone the ones I have tracked and added in the back
country. We have paved bicycle trails with no signage... those
wouldn't pass the test.
