Substitution and caution signal


Ersatzsignal
Mast

Substitution signal (Ersatzsignal) § 13 (30)
Permission to pass the »stop« showing main or protection signal.


Ersatzsignal am Signalnachahmer
Mast

Announcment of the substitution signal on the signal repeater.


Vorsichtssignal
Mast

Caution signal (Vorsichtssignal) § 13 (36)
Same as substitution signal but drive on sight until the next main signal. This signal doesn't seem to be in wide-spread use.

The substitution signal is used when the main signal cannot be set to a free aspect (for example due to a failure or engineering work). Since there is no speed indication a speed restricition to 40 km/h is applied.
