POLISH SIGNAL PAGES
accidental track closures and speed limit signals:

 

Signals below are used by infrastructure service teams. Usually the signals are set during the track repairs or accidental closings.

STOP SIGNALS

DO

'TRACK CLOSING SIGNAL AHEAD'

Handy warning shield is much smaller than normal mechanical forewarning signal, and is set without W1 sign. DO signal means the track closing signal D1 is set ahead. Details about D-group signalling (distances, places, track sides) are explained in E1-Rules.

D1

'TRACK CLOSED'

Handy shield is set on the track (between the rails at station area) and means S1 - 'stop' signal. This signal must be placed at least 50 m before the protected point and usually is concerned with following situations:

  • track damages and following them track closures and similar situation when track conditions let pass the track with speed less than 10 km/h,
  • the train is stopped on route and needs to be protected,
  • S1 signal cannot be reflected on the semaphore,
  • Z-type signal is blocked at 'passing allowed' position,
  • the semaphore is broken down, stolen, damaged, etc.,
  • track closure (or its fragment) within station area,
  • protection of heavy track-repair stock left on side tracks (together with derail closing).

NON-PERMAMENT SPEED LIMIT SIGNALS

D6

'NON-PERMAMENT SPEED LIMIT IN BRAKE DISTANCE'

Handy triangle-shaped sign (on tall or small pole) with orange light (used during the night, together with triangle illumination). The signal means non-permament speed limit (in tens of the number written within the triangle, here - 30 km/h) is in brake distance (the limit borders are set by W14 signs). Details about D-group signalling (distances, places, track sides) are explained in E1-Rules.
