Tagging distant speed limits, fixed of normal and B/C type combined

How does one tag (distant) speed limits, fixed, of combined normal and B and C type?

See an example in https://youtu.be/BE4PIxck8-4?si=D5jJUVt5T-DsaxNx&t=182.

Hi Hiddewie, this type of signaling would be tagged as 3 discrete nodes like this:
railway=signal
ref=173003
railway:position:exact=120.500
railway:signal:direction=forward
railway:signal:position=left
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant=FR:TIV-D_C_FIXE
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:type=FR:C
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:speed=140
source=SNCF - 03/2022

railway=signal
ref=173001
railway:crocodile=no
railway:position:exact=120.500
railway:signal:direction=forward
railway:signal:position=left
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant=FR:TIV-D_FIXE
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:form=light
railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:speed=130
source=SNCF - 03/2022

railway=signal
ref=173002
railway:position:exact=120.500
railway:signal:direction=forward
railway:signal:position=left
railway:signal:speed_limit=FR:Z
railway:signal:speed_limit:function=entry
source=SNCF - 03/2022
Every board or sign has its own ref (called idreseau in the formerly open data of SNCF Réseau, the manager of the railway infrastructure) so they cannot share the same node.
Values (ref, position:exact, direction) are examples. noeld (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

FR:PN-A signal type

Hi noeld! The current tagging for level crossing announcement sign is railway:signal:crossing_distant=FR:PN_A. But according to the documentation on signal types, crossing_distant is used for signals which warn of an upcoming level crossing signal, while crossing_hint ("Level crossing announcement board") fits perfectly. As only a single FR:PN-A is tagged at the moment, I think we could still change it to railway:signal:crossing_hint=FR:PN_A. What do you think? --Entbert (talk) 18:49, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Entbert, you are correct. I've changed the tag accordingly. Thanks. noeld (talk) 05:41, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
Thanks! --Entbert (talk) 14:52, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
