Signalling

Main signals

Main signals can occur on their own or combined with an integrated SFVb signal. The combined case can be identified by a blue and a white light in the bottem row (only one of which is turned on at a time).

They may have additional dot-matrix-type indicators providing further information or modifying the meaning of the signal.

Signal fixe principal (SFP) with integrated Signal fixe de voie barrée (SFVb)

Distant signals

  • SFAv2
    SFAv2
  • SFAv3

    SFAv1 (repeated)
  • SFAv2 (repeated)
    SFAv2 (repeated)
  • SFAv3 (repeated)
    SFAv3 (repeated)

The distant signal indicates the state of an upcoming main signal.

When it repeats a previous distant signal, it is marked by a white light at the bottom right. The aspects of a repeated signal are known as SFAvR 1/2/3, but here they are tagged the same way as the non-repeated aspects (i.e. without an added letter "R"). The repeater signals are instead distinguished by the tag railway:signal:distant:repeated=yes.

It is marked by a distant signal board RF3 File:Vorsignaltafel ne2.svg unless it is a repeater or located at the same position as a main signal.

It may have additional dot-matrix-type indicators providing further information or modifying the meaning of the signal.

Tableau de repèrage ou de substitution des signaux fixes avancés (RF3)

The distant signal board RF3 usually marks a distant signal. In that case it is not tagged separately.

On low-speed lines, it can occur instead of a distant signal. Only then it is tagged as follows:

Track protection signals

Signal fixe de voie barrée (SFVb)

Light signal
Two signals showing SFVb1 in compact shape

A light signal that can show a blue and a white light. The lights can also be placed horizontally.

    SFVb2

Additional light signals

Signal fixe avancé indicateur de vitesse (SFAvI)

At distant signals showing SFAv3.

Signal fixe indicateur de vitesse (SFI)

Speed signals

Signal fixe annonciateur de la vitesse-infrastructure (SFAVI)

Yellow downward-pointing triangle with a black number.

This signal announces a permanent decrease in the speed limit marked by an upcoming SFIVI signal.

If there is another speed signal between the SFAVI and the announced SFIVI, the SFAVI is repeated at the intermediate signal where it is marked with an additional board reading "BIS". This repeated signal should additionally taged with

If the signal is placed before a switch and only applies to a certain direction, it is marked by an additional direction board and the applicable directions can be tagged with

Signal fixe indicateur de la vitesse-infrastructure (SFIVI)

SFIVI

Green upward-pointing triangle with a white number.

This signal indicates a permanent change in the speed limit at its location.

Signal mobile de ralentissement temporaire/Tableau annonciateur (SMR/A)

Yellow disk with a black number.

This signal announces a temporary speed limit marked by an upcoming SMR/EI signal.

Note that temporary objects should only be mapped when they will be in place for a considerable length of time.

Tableau d'exécution immédiate de ralentissement (SMR/EI)

White disk with a black number.

This signal indicates the start of a temporary speed limit at its location.

Note that temporary objects should only be mapped when they will be in place for a considerable length of time.

Tableau vert de reprise de vitesse (SMR/R)

Green disk with a white number.

This signal indicates the end of a temporary speed limit at its location and indicates the speed limit on the following track section.

Note that temporary objects should only be mapped when they will be in place for a considerable length of time.

Signal fixe indicateur de vitesse/Reprise de vitesse (SFI/R)

A white number on a black board or as a light display.

This signal increases the speed limit following a previous SFI signal. If it occurs at a main signal, it is not an SFI/R, but an SFI signal.

Chevron (RF1)

White board with black downward-pointing chevron symbol.

This sign marks the position at which a train must have reduced its speed after passing an SFP3 signal.

Level crossing signals

Signal fixe « Siffler » (SFS)

Rectangular board divided by its diagonals into 4 areas, the top and bottom one coloured in black. A black letter S on the left.

This sign indicates an upcoming level crossing. The train has to whistle here.

Signal fixe « Ralentir et Siffler »/Tableau annonciateur (SFRS/A)

Rectangular board divided by its diagonals into 4 areas, the top and bottom one coloured in yellow. A black number on the right.

This sign announces an upcoming SFRS/E sign.

Signal fixe « Ralentir et Siffler »/Tableau d'exécution (SFRS/E)

Rectangular board divided by its diagonals into 4 areas, the top and bottom one coloured in green. A black letter S on the left, a black number on the right.

Level crossing marker board

Rectangular white board with black letters PN followed by a number.

This sign indicates the number and position of a level crossing (passage à niveau, PN).

The information on the sign can also be mapped on the node of the railway=level_crossing (not the node of the signal!) with

  • ref=* crossing number starting with "PN", e.g. PN 41
  • railway:position:exact=* crossing location on the line stated at the bottom of the sign, e.g. 69.048 (here always with a decimal point instead of a comma)
