I have roads and trails in one shapefile (file A) and in a separate I have lines which show which trails are signposted (file B). Unfortunately the later is not very precise so it does not align well with the trail or road. Can I use FME to detect proximity and then create a new shapefile where this proximity is marked by "high-lighting" the relevant parts of the trails/roads in file A?

Hi @aron
Have a look at the NeighborFinder transformer for proximity analysis it will result in a distance attribute between the features.
Maybe look at the AnchoredSnapper, it will let you "snap" the signposted trail lines (file B) to your roads and trails (file A). Make sure to set the snapping type to Segment snapping.
