Do you want to reuse the highway shields for your hiking trails or do you want to use your own special hiking symbols for the trails? If it is the latter, I don't think this is easily possible. You may wish to look at the Garmin version of the hiking and equestrian map below, for an idea of what can be achieved: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:OSMC_Reitkarte Cheers.
