You can find a quick style at:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles/Guidepost

To use it in JOSM, add the following style-file:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josmfile?page=Styles/Guidepost&zip

But please review your decision and tag it with information=guidepost
and a subtag (discussed here or at the guidepost wiki).
