Signalling

All railway signals have the following tags:

If there are multiple signals or signs at a given position, include tags railway:signal:*:id=* to specify the unique identifier of each of them; tag ref=* becomes the signal identifier of the primary signal.

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 called TIV de Rappel (TIV-R) in French.

Mobile TIV-D
Sign Light (Open) Light (Closed)
TIV D MOB 100.svg TIV Mobile O.svg TIV Mobile 100.svg

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

TIV-R
Sign Light (Open) Light (Closed)
TIV R MOB 60.svg TIV Rappel Lumineux O.svg TIV Rappel Lumineux 60.svg

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

FR TIV-type-C-180.svg

Speed Limit Announcement (P board)

The P board announces a distant speed indicator (TIV-D) for lines equipped with pre-announcement signalling. This sign applies only to trains running at speeds higher than 160 km/h and requires the train to pass the next TIV-D at a speed lower than 160 km/h. This sign is lit at night.

FR Tableau P.svg

Pentagonal Speed Indicators

The TIV figure specifies the maximum speed in tens of kilometers per hour (e.g. 5 stands for 50 km/h).

L Sign

The upwards-pointing, pentagonal-shaped TIV-D may have an additional L sign when the special speed limit applies only to certain locomotive series.

Pancarte L.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 when these do not coincide with notable landmarks.

FR Pancarte Km.svg

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.

Cab Signalling

Conventional Railway Lines

Cab signalling of type Contrôle de Vitesse par Balises (Speed control by beacons, KVB) or European Train Control System (ETCS).

The train is directed towards a cab signalling line. One or more boards of this type precede the entry.

Signalisation de Cabine Distant.svg

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

Signalisation de Cabine.svg

The train is returning to a traditional lateral signalling line.

Highspeed Railway Lines

Cab signalling of type Transmission_Voie-Machine (TVM) or European Train Control System (ETCS).
