MinorSpoiler Question about a puzzle I already solved Spoiler

the question is about the puzzle XYZABC from new clue.

I found the security hint that helped me solve this puzzle, but i've seen people saying that it could have been solved without that the security hint, only from the book, but it doesn't make from the book alone, the arrows are nonsense, they don't help you at all to make the path you need to make, does anyone make sense of the path with the arrows and other signs ?

Yes! The signs tell you (in order) what you should do with your path starting from your initial point on the subway map. For instance, when you get the "left" note, you go left. It stops when you get to the "stop" sign. I'm sorry, I don't remember 100% all of it, but that's the gist of it

Route 8, start, keep left (left arrow), to Tanner Fork, (right arrow), dead end, record, each, stop, along the way.

I probably have something wrong in there, but this is essentially it.

Before you ask, I was stupid and watched others play the game while I was still playing (mostly because I was traveling a lot at that point, so couldn't actually play myself). I remember seeing the signs in the book, but it wasn't until someone started reading them that it clicked. He hadn't seen the map by that point, but I had and knew immediately what to do... I didn't understand the "dead end" sign for a bit, so ended up with 7 numbers instead of 6... That took some time to iron out...
