Distant signals are mounted at poles, bridges, roof edges etc. which are tagged with railway:signal:distant=*. The node is placed on the track. The value should begin with a country-operator-prefix, e.g. DE-ESO: or AT-V2.
Additional keys
- mandatory:
railway:signal:direction=forward/backward/both– direction which the signal is valid for railway:signal:position=left/right/overhead/bridge– position relative to the track (direction of OSM way) where the signal is located
There are a lot of additional tags which describe the signal in higher level of detail because every country (or even railway company) has its own signalling system.
- mandatory:
railway:signal:distant:form=sign/light/semaphore– type of signal (sign, light signal, semaphore signal) - only light and semaphore signals
railway:signal:distant:states=*– displayable signal aspects (e.g. stop, proceed, proceed at low speed, …). The value should begin with a country-operator-prefix, e.g.DE-ESO:orAT-V2. railway:signal:distant:height=*– the height design of the signal (dwarf / normal)railway:signal:distant:repeated=yes/no– Sometimes distant signals are mounted twice or more often because the main signal can be hidden.railway:signal:distant:shortened=yes/no– Sometimes the distance between the main and the distant signal is shorter than usual.ref=*– signal number
