signal brackets

[NW Mailing List]

I'll see your "approach diverging", and raise a "diverging clear".
If I remember correctly, any "approach" aspect meant to slow to "medium"
(45?) or below prior to the next signal. diverging clear, on the other
hand, says to proceed at prescribed speed.  So would there be a case where
"prescribed speed" was greater than "medium"?  If so, then a four flush
might beat a pair ;^)
