This can be used to construct balancers and other helpful constructs. For instance, entry/exit signals will cause trains to take longer routes if a path is blocked, while path signals may wait. Path signals also can behave similar to entry/exit signals, although entry/exit signals have uses that path can't fully achieve. I use path signals for forks that have 4 or more tracks, as this is where they start to benefit. This is a major advantage against standard OpenTTD signals, where you had to place signals before and after junctions, which caused trains to block junctions while waiting.įor straight track and basic merges/splits, I stick to normal one-way signals. It is not safe for a a train to wait at a signal immediately after a junction before the whole train has cleared the junction, as it would be blocking the junction while waiting, as illustrated in the example below. This is because it is only safe for a train to wait in front of a junction. The back of a Path signal is not considered a safe waiting position, and therefore paths are reserved through these signals.īecause the front of every signal is defined as a safe waiting position, you would normally not want to place a signal immediately behind a junction, only in front of a junction. Safe waiting positions are - by definition - in front of signals, depots and track ends. The Path signals are red by default, and will only show green as soon as a train can reserve a path to the next safe waiting position on its route. The two new signal types behave a bit differently than standard OpenTTD signal types. Although it does make a clover leaf take up more space, having each curve be 3 segments means longer trains can go through (tho it really doesn't hurt it if train is too big) but also means they go through faster. This allows 2 trains to be on the same signal block at the same time, so long as they have paths that don't cross. Typically a curve should be a minimum of 2 segments, 3 for best results. One-way path signals reserve an individual path between it and the next signal. It's described on the SABRE Wiki too.One-way signals reserve a signal block between it and the next signal. Much of it is one-way so it only forms a through route from north to south. But wasn't this a pleasant diversion? The B404Ī short and insignificant route, matching this short and insignificant page, the B404 is in Covent Garden in London's West End, running from Shaftesbury Avenue to William IV Street just off Trafalgar Square. You would never use the A404 to make a journey from Marylebone to Maidenhead, just like you'd never come to this page in order to find your way somewhere else. There's a detailed account of its route and history at the SABRE Wiki. The route is slightly more than 43 miles in length, of which the westernmost 9.6 miles are a trunk road. It originally ran only from London to Amersham, but was extended in 1935 to reach the A4 near Maidenhead, giving it its present rather silly route. At its westernmost end it forms a spur of the M4 called the A404(M). It runs from Marylebone in London to Maidenhead, Berkshire via an indirect route that takes it as far north as Amersham. Unlike the document you wanted to see, the A404 is easily found. Before you move on, you might like to read about the roads that share that number. Your request to see a non-existent page generated the error code 404. If you arrived at this page through a link within, please let me know where that link was so I can correct it. Either you followed a bad or out-of-date link, or you mistyped the page address. The page you just tried to reach at wasn't found.
