Re: Restoring the ''Rapid'' in ''Rapid Transit''

Posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Apr 6 16:19:54 2021, in response to Re: Restoring the ''Rapid'' in ''Rapid Transit'', posted by Jsun21 on Tue Apr 6 15:17:16 2021.

One thing that always upset me about this topic is that the yellow-over-S ("two-shot") timers apparently did not create any sort of comfort zone for the T/Os; someone else on this board years back posted that bypassing a yellow-over-S meant somehow that the red signal following would take extra long to clear. So there would be a lot of pressure to treat the yellow-over-S almost like it was a red.

IMO Ideally the yellow-over-S could be treated almost like a green so long as the train was below the posted speed, and if there was some mistake made (either by the T/O or by the signal system itself), there would still be one more block to correct it, but apparently this hasn't been the case.
