Use of speed signs

[ChuckF]

Hi! Ever since RS came out, all routes have had speed signs, and signs showing approaching speed changes. Is the use of these signs a UK/Europe situation, or as my limited observation of real North American railroads indicates, they do not use speed signs. For the simulator, for speeds to show only on the HUD, I am tempted to place the appropreate sign, then bury it so that it does not show beside the track. Could someone please post as to wheather speed signs are actually used on NA railroads? Cheers; Chuck F.

they do use speed signs, however the speeds are also timetable indicated and crews must know the speed limits in case a sign gets knocked down

I'm pretty sure you don't need to place speed signs for the HUD to show the track speed. You definately don't for the Driver Aid to display them.

F4 only shows speed if there is a speed board on route, AFAIK you cannot add speed board on Dumbario Baditor, sorry caugh, caugh up, on Scenario Editor.
F3 always shows the next track speed (not always correctly, but at least it shows).
