➟ Back to About openBVE About the default Japanese signals  This page presents the Japanese signals that are included in openBVE as the default signals. Custom signals are also possible and do not have to follow the rules as presented on this page. Japanese signals follow quite a simple concept. A stop signal (●停止) generally does not allow you to pass it, while a proceed signal (●進行) allows you to travel with the maximum speed as permitted by the route. Signals in between them instruct you to travel with successively reduced speed. See the following chart for signals directly supported by openBVE. Generally, the speed restriction signal (●●警戒) means 25 km/h, the caution signal (●注意) around 40-55 km/h and the reduced speed signal (●●減速) around 50-75 km/h. The speeds applying vary from company to company and even from route to route with the same company. An additional aspect, the high speed aspect (●●高速進行), is introduced with openBVE. This type of signal is found on the Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line and possibly also on the Narita Rapid Railway. It allows express trains to travel beyond 130 km/h, while a normal proceed signal is restricted to 130 km/h on those routes. ➟ See this external link for more information about Japanese signals...
