Solid post. Courtesy always has the right of way in any situation and barring that I agree signage could be much improved.
In the specific cases I mention we were in a tight section of Roadside Attraction with nowhere to pull over with a large group of riders coming down who had room to pullover so whether by climbing or by courtesy we had the right of way.
Normally I don’t fuss too much, but in these cases I think it’s important that - absent signage stating otherwise - new riders of any age learn the standard is to yield to uphill riders. The logic behind this of course being it’s harder to restart.

I love the idea of downhill only green and blue trails.
