unsignposted
Lacking any markers
Unsignposted describes a road, path, or turning that lacks signs indicating where it leads or that it exists at all: We almost missed the unsignposted lane to the cottage.
By extension, it can describe any situation or process without clear guidance or markers: an unsignposted journey through bureaucracy.
Chiefly British.
