-this sign allows you to control speeds. it is **static**, so it transmits the same information throuhghout

-===== usage =====
+//**NOTE:** Signal signs have been massively reworked by the new-ks branch, and the documentation on this page no longer reflects the status of signal signs in advtrains. Updated documentation can be found in the manual in the ''doc'' branch or, in the master branch, [[http://git.bananach.space/advtrains.git/tree/advtrains_signals_ks/doc/advtrains_signals_ks.7advtrains.md|as a manual page in the source code]]. The status of the documentation on this page will be discussed in the future, so please leave this page as-is in the meantime.//
-place it. right click it with the **trackworker** to change its facing. a left click changes the information.
-here are the types of information:
+Ks signs are signal signs that, in many cases, affect the speed limit of the train. Unlike other signals, Ks signs are **static**, so the signal aspect does not change.
-  - 8 - proceed at speed 8
-  - 12 - proceed at speed 12
-  - 16 - proceed at speed 16
-  - E - end of speed restriction. you can stay in shunting if you like
-  - S (red background) - SLOW!!! (intended for shunting, used in many different ways)
-  - S (green arrow above) - proceed at mainline speed, and disable shunting
-right click it to set an influence point, where trains will obey the signage.

-===== gotchas =====
+===== Usage =====
-if you set the speed to 8 (example, not specific), the train will stay at that speed, no matter what. the only way to get it out of this trance is to have a signal that tells it to go at "s (green arrow above)", or "E".
+Right click it with the **trackworker** to change its facing. Left clicking changes the signal aspect.
+==== Signal aspects ====
+^ Display ^ Meaning ^
+| 8 | Proceed at a maximum speed of 8 |
+| 12 | Proceed at a maximum speed of 12 |
+| 16 | Proceed at a maximum speed of 16 |
+| E | End of speed restriction |
+| S with red background | Halt for shunt (HFS): Do not proceed if the train is in shunt mode |
+| S below a green arrow | Proceed as main (PAM): Proceed without shunt mode |
+Right click it to set an influence point, where trains will obey the signage.
+In the new-ks branch, the HFS sign is a semicircle with the black text "Halt für Rangierfahrten" on white background, which corresponds to the German Ra 10 ("Rangierhalttafel") signal.
+===== Gotchas =====
+Signal signs are obeyed in the same way signals are. If you set the sign to anything, say "8", the train will follow that command as priority, no matter what (unless you make a sign which changes this restriction).
