The Regio may drive the maximum permissible maximum speed specified at the edge of the route. He just has to drive so that he can slow down early enough before the next stop.

The maximum permissible speed is on triangular shields (tips down) or is indicated with light signals (for example, with switches). The displayed value is to be multiplied by the factor 10. If there is, for example, the number 8, then 80 km/h must not be exceeded.

To measure the speed, the kilometer signs at the edge of the route help. These are white and rectangular and all 200 meters vertically suspended. The kilometer is up, the first decimal place underneath. For the 115.8 km, there is 115, among them 8. With the signs, you can see the stopwatch in which time you travel a certain distance. The distance traveled in km divided by the seconds of 3600 yields the speed in km/h.

Only for completeness: not everywhere there are signals indicating the speed. There are other possibilities. e.g. an inverse representation in the EbuLa vehicle.

The signals with the tip to the bottom are called Zs3, also with the tip upwards. A white luminous number is also Zs3

Then there is Lf1 (triangular) in connection with Lf2/3 (rectangular) and Lf6 (triangular) in connection with Lf6 (rectangular)

Well, I’ve gotten my knowledge on my way.

It’s not bad:) but it’s nice that there are people who want to expand their horizons. It was just a little addition to me. And maybe it’s a little more important to you to learn more about the world of railroad

An ICE generally travels, short-term, sometimes 160, so a regio of the 120 drives already very close to the speed of an ICE. If you look out of the window, you can estimate the speed at remote points extremely badly, so on the one hand this is deceived and on the other hand, the difference in the ICE’s vulnerability is not very high, the time advantage is due to the fewer holding points.

Depends on the material. Here in the Ruhr region, vehicles drive the regional express which are approved for 160 km/h.

Feeling speed is not a benchmark by the way. We have no organ with which we can reliably detect speed.

Of course it’s on the track.

As written, there was a maximum of 160 on the display.

I never sat in an ICE that drove faster than 160, speeds above are fairy tales from advertising.

Too fast? I can’t imagine. Apart from this, regional trains can also reach Tempo 160.

The locomotive driver only drives as fast as it is the speed set on the track. In case of delays, after consultation with the control panel, he may increase the speed somewhat. But this is also given.

A regio train cannot drive as fast as an ICE

The speed must not be increased at all. There’s nothing like talking to the head office. This is absolutely forbidden and costs you the job. There is uncompromising for announced

It’s funny that you told me something else with a locomotive.

No way. There’s something about the U railway, but not the railroad. U and trams are not “right” railways.

achja and another edit: Regional trains can theoretically be as fast as an ICE. The 445 is built for 300km/h, but only for 160.

He’ll know how fast he can drive and how fast he is.
