Signalling

All railway signals have the following tags:

If there are multiple signals or signs at a given position, include the ref:*=* tags that apply to specify the unique identifier of each of them.

Speed Limits

Speed limits are signaled by speed indicators. They are called Tableau Indicateur de Vitesse (TIV) in French; TIVs can be either fixed or mobile.

Mobile Speed Indicators

Turnouts that can only be crossed at reduced speed in the thrown direction (approximately 60 km/h) are typically preceded by two mobile TIVs: a diamond-shaped TIV à Distance (TIV-D) followed by a speed limit reminder or TIV de Rappel (TIV-R).

The TIV-R is always paired with the Carré signal preceding the turnout.

Additionally, if necessary, the location of the point (or the first point in the case of successive turnouts) is identified by a downwards pointing Chevron.

Fixed Distant Speed Indicators (Ordinary Type)

Fixed distant speed indicators of ordinary type (or TIV fixes à distance du type ordinaire in French) are usually square in shape. They are diamond-shaped when the speed limit is less than or equal to 40 km/h.

TIV Distance 80.svg TIV Distance Crocodile 40.svg

The Z sign (pancarte) is the execution signal indicating the start of the zone to be traveled at limited speed.

Tableau Z.svg

The R sign (pancarte) indicates the end of the zone where the speed limit is required and the return to normal speed (Reprise de vitesse).

Tableau R.svg

Fixed Distant Speed Indicators (Type B)

Fixed distant speed indicators of type B (TIV-D_B) indicate that the speed limit must be observed by trains authorized to travel at speeds greater than 140 km/h. When only TIV-D_B signals are present, the speed limit also applies to self-propelled trains (automoteurs).

FR-TIV-type-B-160.svg

Fixed Distant Speed Indicators (Type C)

Fixed distant speed indicators of type C (TIV-D_C) exclusively apply to self-propelled trains (automoteurs). When a TIV-D_B is supplemented with a TIV-D_C, the speed limit indicated by the TIV-D_B only applies to trains authorized to travel at speeds greater than 140 km/h. The TIV-D_C serves as a reminder of the upstream speed limit observed by self-propelled trains.

Speed Limit Announcement (P sign)

The P sign (tableau) announces a distant speed indicator (TIV-D) for lines equipped with pre-announcement signalling. This sign is lit at night.

FR Tableau P.svg

Milestone Speed Limit Markers (Km sign)

The Km sign (pancarte) is used in conjunction with TIVs to indicate transition points of the speed limit within a section of line when these do not coincide with notable landmarks.

Routes

Routes are signaled with either a Route Indicator or a Distant Route Indicator, or both. They are called Indicateur de Direction (ID) and Tableau Indicateur de Direction à Distance (TIDD) respectively. The TIDD indicates the position of the next point, either left or right unless the next signal displays a closed Carré (FR:C) in which case, the TIDD is turned off.

Cabin Signalling

Cabin Signalling Line Announcement

The train is directed towards a cabin signalling line. One or more signs (tableaux) of this type precede the entry.

Pancarte CABb.svg

Cabin Signalling Line Entry

The train enters a cabin signalling line. This sign is at the position of the last signal or immediately downstream of that signal.

Pancarte CABn.svg

Cabin Signalling Line Exit

The train is returning to a traditional lateral signalling line.

Other Signs

Upward-Pointing Chevrons

FR Chevron pointe en haut.svg

Upward-pointing chevrons indicate either an exit from a junction of converging tracks or, in some stations, the point beyond which trains must not proceed when a stop is required.
