Departure
Departure signals prohibit and permit the departure of the train from the station. According to the importance and frequency of traffic in the station, one group departure signal is erected at each head at the level of the outer switch (supplemented by a square plate with a black frame and a black stripe running from the lower left to the upper right corner). If there are several group signals (for purposefully divided groups of tracks), they are placed before the connection of the tracks of each group. In stations with a high traffic density, they are placed separately for each traffic track. Departure signals are not placed near handling tracks, because the train may not depart from these tracks on the wide The light signals equipped with white light are the signals combined with the marshalling lights and apply to the movement of the train as well as the shift.
T250
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
T350
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
This signal is simplified and can be used, for example, on local lines. It allows the use of a call signal and a secure shift, leaving at track speed (usually 40 km/h) or this signal is destroyed at the "main" traffic track where departure at track speed is allowed.
T390
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
This signal is simplified and can be used, for example, on local lines. It does not allow the use of a call signal or a secure shift, but it is possible to distinguish departure from the main track and from a branch (with a reduced speed of 40 km/h)
T460
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
This signal is most often used as a way signal on main traffic tracks, it repeats the signal on the previous signal and is placed at an insufficient stopping distance from the following signal (e.g. if the station is divided by a crossing or is in an arch and is not visible from the departure signal at the head).
T480
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
This signal is mostly used as a departure signal from a track other than the main track, thus enabling departure at a reduced speed (40 km/h).
T590
This signal can also be used as a road signal. Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
This signal is mainly used in larger stations from which it is possible to leave even on a line protected by a car block.
Entrance
The entrance signal is valid only for the movement of the train, it is not valid for shifting. Entrance signals cover the station (turning point) against the train's entry from the wide's track and delimit the station space. They are placed at such a distance from the extreme turnout that there is sufficient space (extraction length) for the shifting set, because during shifting the shifting part must not pass behind the entry signal. The place where the front of the moving set can reach the farthest is marked with a marker or alignment signal. In the event that the lift length ends in a tunnel, an entrance light is placed in front of the tunnel. the signal signs that the entrance signal displays depend on the situation in the station.
T240
This signal is simplified and can be used, for example, on local lines.
T340
This signal is simplified and can be used, for example, on local lines. It makes it possible to use the call sign, the turn is entered at the track speed which is the same for all traffic tracks (usually 40 km/h).
T380
This signal is simplified and can be used, for example, on local lines. It does not allow the use of a call sign, however, it is possible to distinguish between entering the main track and driving to a branch (at a reduced speed of 40 km/h).
T470
This signal can be used, for example, to enter a dead-end or terminal station, i.e. a station that cannot be driven through (the following signal cannot display the "free" signal).
T590
This signal is most commonly used for station entrances, turnouts, etc.
Traveling
Traffic lights are placed on traffic tracks intended for passing trains between individual parts of larger stations.
T120
The "stop" sign is permanently lit on this signal and it can only be placed near a dead-end (track) traffic track, where it is necessary to highlight the end of this traffic track.
T220
This signal can be used on the traffic tracks of terminal or dead-end stations, from which it is not possible to depart to the sewn track and the departure is handled only in displacement mode.
Sequencing signals
Sequencing signals are usually not used in stations with older security equipment, with a lower frequency of operation, where all displacement is ensured by the locomotives of the handling trains and where there is no assumption that the displacement would endanger the train path of another train. Consent to the shift is given by the dispatcher and the movement of the vehicles is controlled by manual signals. In older security systems, marshalling signals were mainly used in places where the part of the station intended for shifting (tracks for marshalling trains, for loading and unloading, locomotive depot, etc.) entered the transport tracks.
In most stations with relay safety devices that guard all possible paths for both the train and the shunt, shunting lights are placed at all points where it is necessary to cover the train path and also where the shunt needs to be stopped for some reason or where the direction of travel often changes, etc. They are dependent on the main signals, so it is not possible to build a shift path at the same time as a train path for the entry or departure of a train on the same track or in cases where these paths would cross. Line-up signals are placed at the handling tracks and are only valid for shifting (it is prohibited to depart from the handling tracks onto the wide track).
T230
Distant Signal
A separate warning signal is a signal that announces the signal on the following main signal (the distance between the separate signal and the main signal must be at least 400m for tracks with a speed of up to 60km/h, 700m for tracks with a speed of 60-100km/h or 1000m for tracks with a speed of 100 -160km/h)
A harbinger standing in front of an entrance, travel or departure signal is indicated by a board with diagonal crossed stripes. The harbinger standing in front of the compartment and cover light is marked with a board with crossed horizontal and vertical stripes. Boards with four, three, two and one stripes indicating the status of the next main signal are placed 100 meters before the signal.
T100
This sign can be placed, for example, in front of an entrance sign on which the sign "free" cannot be displayed. This situation can occur when entering the station via a turn, i.e. at a reduced speed.
T200
It is possible to use this separate repeating sign instead of a separate sign where it is not possible to use this sign for reasons of space or to repeat the sign from the previous separate sign.
T210
This stand-alone signal is most often used for signaling signals on entrance signals in front of the station.
T310
It is possible to use this separate repeating foreshadowing, e.g. instead of a separate foreshadowing, where for spatial reasons it is not possible to use this particular foreshadowing or to repeat the cue from the previous separate foreshadowing.
Inserted
Embedded signals are the oldest type of light signals. We can meet them in stations with one departure signal, where the departure header is not very clear and good visibility of the departure signal is not ensured. In such stations, the inserted signals are placed at the ends of the traffic tracks and are valid for driving as well as shifting.
Embedded traffic lights have different signaling. In addition to the signs "movement allowed", "movement prohibited" and "stop", which are the same as standard signaling (while on embedded signs, "movement prohibited" and "stop" are often lit at the same time), there is also a sign called "the main signal allows driving". This is the only signal that allows driving around an inset signal and informs the driver that he has a way out of his track and anything but "stop" and "move allowed/prohibited" on the departure signal. The inserted signal can also be extinguished and then has the same meaning as the "stop" signal. The station where the inserted signals are located must be marked. There must be a sign with an exclamation mark on the entrance signal.
T370
Sectional (Block)
A section signal is a signal that delimits and covers spatial sections on a wide track. On more frequent lines, it is necessary to fit several trains traveling in the same direction on the track section between neighboring stations. For this reason, the track is divided into sections and is managed by a so-called autoblock. Autoblok is a device that registers the passage of a train using track circuits and automatically sets the signals accordingly. Each section signal is automatically a harbinger of the following section signal, and the last section signal (marked by a table with a "target") is also a harbinger of the entrance signal of the following station. On double-track lines, the rule is to drive on the right track in the direction of travel. The section signals are therefore located on the right. However, it is possible to drive on the left lane under certain conditions. for this case, the signals are placed on the left (including the entrance ones in front of the station). Therefore, it is possible to build so-called double-sided traffic lights.
