Train speed

[Fava29]

Hey Guys, sorry for this question, but i searched everywhere on google and didn't really find an answer/still don't understand it, also sorry that i put this in offtopic but i couldn't place it elsewhere, i'm new to train sims.

So, i found a forum where they put the signs and everything, but when i first started playing i saw that on the right of my screen there was written speed limit 20/30/50/70 etc... i thought it meant i could go only 30km/h 50 km/h 70km/h etc..., but as i fast realised it does not mean that, so i had the question, what do these things mean? how do i know which speed to go? i would like to learn this so i could brake in time and not lose many points, so that i can play this game as i should and that i can start to understand it, i played a lot of ETS2 because i love trucks and i love freight and cargo, and i started to also get interested in trains as it is very interesting, so i would like to ask if someone could tell me what these things mean and how i could know which speed to go and where i can see in time that it will change, or is it something i need to learn like that on some tracks its always the same speed etc? where could i learn?

Thanks in advance, and sorry again for the question or for putting it in the wrong topic folder love you all guys!

Staying at a very basic level, not touching on rail traffic regulations etc. The HUD that shows you these different values in the yellow square are speed limits or road speed changes. Generally, you must control the train speed to reduce it to the required speed before the restriction begins. What may confuse players is the fact that speed limits and road speed changes can overlap or occur in very short sections one after the other. Unfortunately, here you need knowledge about railway indicators to know exactly where and at what speed you need to travel, as well as knowledge of how to read the official timetable, etc.

Also you need to look at the Signals. For example you get a green and yellow signal which means you have to decelerate  to 40 kph even though the line speed could be a 100kph. In this case the distant Signal would have a blinking yellow signal which informs you that the next signal is a 40kph signal (or 60kph).

there you can also look up what the different signals mean
