Smannesman: King's Quest VI (I might be confusing my KQ's though) had a path like that, the second screen I think.
But it had a tree in front of the path.
No...
Check out the new attachment, I hope it will be more clear what those mysterious spots rally are

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I really don't think it's a bad drawing. I've seen less distiquishable (spell) road signs in actual games.
It's not a road sign that is important here ;) Forget about it. Those "spots" are far more important
