1. Signs inside stations
'TT' (Head of train)
Halt point for all trains on station platforms.
'TT EAS'
Halt point for the suburban trains in which the driver sees the image taken by the video cameras over the platforms.
Normal halt point for n vehicles
Halt point for trains composed of n pulled vehicles, on station platforms.
Normal halt point for x or y vehicles
Halt point for trains composed of x or y pulled vehicles, on station platforms.
Normal halt point for x to y vehicles
Halt point for trains composed of x to y pulled vehicles, on station platforms.
Normal halt point for TGVs
This indicates the halt point for simple TGV units ('1'), double TGV units ('2'), or all TGVs ('1_2').
2. Signs outside stations
Particular halt point announcement
This sign tells the driver of approaching a station.
Passenger station announcement
This sign, used on single track lines with simplified signalling, announces a passenger station.
It has the same meaning as the disque (see: signals).
Distant station marker
This sign, used on single track lines with simplified signalling, announces a station other than a passenger station.
It has the same meaning as the disque (see: signals).
Station proximity marker
This sign, fixed in parallel plane to the track, locates the border of several stations.
The white part directs stationward and the black part directs blockward.
'Chevron downwards'
This sign locates points (switches) to be passed at limited speed. It can be replaced by a reminder speed sign.
On single track lines, the entrance of multiple-track stations is generally marked by this sign.
'Chevron upwards'
This sign is used at some service track ends, or at the exit of some stations on single track lines, in the case of switch(es) passed trailing with one signal associated with both tracks (entrance on a single track line, etc.). This sign is set on each track: by the track(s) not having priority, if the common signal is a carré, this sign is settled on the mast of the guidon d'arrêt (which stays closed if the track having priority is occupied); if the common signal is a sémaphore, the driver must only ask for a written order to proceed.
