What does the signal aspect indicate when it means 'proceed normally'?

The indication of 'proceed normally' typically means that the train operator should continue at the current speed and follow the main route without any restrictions. This signal aspect communicates that the track ahead is clear, allowing for safe passage without the need for the operator to take any immediate corrective actions, like reducing speed or preparing for a change in direction.

When a signal indicates 'proceed normally,' it assures the operator that they can maintain their operational rhythm while adhering to any applicable safety protocols. The context of 'proceed normally on the main route' reinforces that the route is not only clear but also designated for regular travel, thus facilitating efficient train operations.
