Austrian and Swiss Main Signals compared

Choose signal aspects:

Use the drop-down lists to choose signal aspects. Try for example:

Austrian and Swiss system L signalling: Set the entry signal to stop. Choose a proceed aspect for the exit signal and observe the distant signals beneath the entry signals. Then set the entry signals and look what happens to the distant signals.
Swiss system N signalling: Set the entry signal to ''clear with 60 km/h''. Then choose all possible aspects for the exit signal from ''stop'' to ''clear'' one after the other. Observe how the entry signal aspect changes. Especially try to find out when it changes from ''speed announcment'' (orange light) to ''speed execution'' (green light).

Note: Since Austrian signals cannot display ''clear with 90 km/h'' without additional speed indicators, the signals will disappear in the above example as long as this aspect is selected.
