Some mappers distinguish this tag from trail_blaze with route_marker being used solely when also indicating direction of the trail (with an arrow). Other mappers use these two interchangeably. See information=trail_blaze for more information.
How to use
Tag a marker that shows the position of the way of a route without providing information about destinations (in which case you would use information=guidepost) with information=route_marker on a node 
. Such a marker may or may not indicate by a symbol that it belongs to a particular route.
To describe access, you can use hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
Additional tags
support=*– To describe what supports the marker (e.g. a tree, a post, a wall etc.)
Relations
To add the marker to a relation, the undocumented relation member "route_marker" is in use.
