Hello,
I'm trying to understand Dutch Signalling - I'm used to UK Signalling and I mostly understand DB/OBB Signalling.
On the Krammerdijks Deltaland route my train approaches Miezerveen from Zevenberg.
I have a Signal showing Yellow (Flashing) and a 4 for 40kph and the next Signal is a Yellow (not flashing) and a 4.
Just before the station is a Signal with a Yellow (not Flashing) and no Speed. The 40kph starts here as the train goes in to the loop.
Is that sequence right?
I would have thought the 4 would have been on the signal before the speed change applies - like German Signalling.
Thanks
Peter
Sorry if this is in the wrong section - please move if so.

Re: Dutch signalling question
A yellow singal with a flashing number means that the next singal is too close to reach the desired speed. The sequence will be as you described:
Yellow with a flashing 4: Slow down to 40km/h, speed might not be reached before next signal
Yellow with a static 4: Continue slowing down to 40km/h
Yellow with no number: Expect red signal. By this point you have to be slowed down to 40km/h
If there is no red signal the last signal will show a flashing green light: Proceed at max 40km/h
Or if the speed is any higher than 40km/h: A flashing green light with a static number
Yellow with a flashing 4: Slow down to 40km/h, speed might not be reached before next signal
Yellow with a static 4: Continue slowing down to 40km/h
Yellow with no number: Expect red signal. By this point you have to be slowed down to 40km/h
If there is no red signal the last signal will show a flashing green light: Proceed at max 40km/h
Or if the speed is any higher than 40km/h: A flashing green light with a static number
