Examples

One speed limit for all types of trains.

[gt1.gif]

Two speed limits, the higher one applies to the higher train class.

[gt2.gif]

Speed restriction only for tiliting trains.

[gt3.gif]

Three different speed limits for low train class, high train class and tilting trains.

Temporary speed restriction: announcment (Vorsignal Langsamfahrstelle)
Maximum speed in km/h = number x 10.

Speed restriction revoked (Aufhebungssignal Langsamfahrstelle)
Used when there are switches between the announcment and the start signal and the speed restriction applies only to certain branches. On the branches for which the speed restriction is not intended for this board is used.

If it is not clear which track the boards are intended for additional arrows are used which point to the belonging track.

Other signals concerning speed

Position of change in line speed (Änderung der Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf der Strecke)
The allowed speed limits ar noted in the service timetable. The location where the line speed changes is sometimes described only by its kilometre-mark. In this cases such great km-boards are used (the normal kilometre boards are rather small).

[gleiswaage20.gif]
[m.gif]

Speed limit for weighbridges, track brakes, depot areas, loading tracks etc.
(Geschwindigkeit über Gleisbrückenwaagen, Gleisbremsen, Depotanlagen, Anschlussgleise usw.)

Shows the speed limit when passing a weighbridge or a track brake. When used in depot areas or on loading tracks the speed limit appies from the signal.
