United Kingdom Railway Lineside Colour Light Signal. Green Clear. The train may proceed subject to any speed restrictions applying to the section.


The railway signalling system used across the majority of the United Kingdom rail network uses lineside signals to control the movement of trains. The current system mostly uses two, three, and four aspect colour light signals using track circuit block signalling. It is a development of the original absolute block signalling that is still being used on many secondary lines. The use of lineside signals in Britain is restricted to railways with a maximum permissible speed of up to 125 mph (201 km/h). Green – Clear. The train may proceed subject to any speed restrictions applying to the section of line or to the train itself. Flashing Green - the train may proceed at line speed. Where this aspect is in use, the steady green aspect means that the next signal shows double yellow. Below the colour light signal is a Lineside Operational Safety Sign, the one shown is a Controlled (Nonpassable) Signal Identification Plate, the sign CE 52 displays the signal identity.
