Overview

One weight, eleven stations

Passengers read these signs in rain, in snow and at speed. We tested three weights on site and found the middle one held at every distance, so the system uses only that.

Colour is limited to the line itself. Every other surface is black on white, which keeps maintenance simple and replacement panels consistent for decades.
