Signal placement

Signals for a unidirectional line are preferably to the left of the line in the direction of travel. If this is not possible, they may be placed:

  • above the line, or
  • to the right of the line.

Signals for a double line bidirectional line are usually:

  • for travel in the usual running direction, to the left of the line
  • for travel opposite to the usual running direction, to the right of the line.

If a signal is placed to the right of the line, a left pointing arrow may be used to indicate the line to which the signal applies.
