Do you know what its purpose is? Is it a sign post with the sign missing? Is it some other kind of marker? I think you'd have to figure that out first before you'd be able to figure out how to tag it.

I don't know, I forgot to ask what is for, but I asked for it to be removed due to safety concerns, but it's still there after a long time. I think it needs to be mapped. it's near a school, and it's in a popular hiking area. it does not seem to serve any purpose, maybe it was some kind of marker before.

I would look for some hi-viz foam, tape or used drinks bottle to make it easier to see. If it serves no purpose I would remove it and bin it, or use it to support tomatoes, beans or other plants. Recycle recycle!

The area is maintained by the city, I don't have any tools to remove it. but what you wrote is a good idea I guess.

Most cities, if made aware of a potentially dangerous situation, would, I guess, want to make it safe to avoid a potential injury and the injured getting lawyers involved. So I would notify the city government.

Although this is getting off topic, Try sending the your pic and concerns to the school as well. Much better than anyone getting injured.

Sounds like someone in you local area needs to setup a service like https://www.snapsendsolve.com/ to notify local authorities about issues

I've notified them about the issue via chat, but now the municipality got new website and municipality has been merged with others. but I don't know if they will do anything about it. I don't think they have a service like snapsendsolve, but thx for sharing, I did not know of it. but for roads there is this: https://www.fiksgatami.no basically the name mean fix my street But I will look into it further.
