да, освен това, вече светофорите ще бъдат с 4 и 5 светлини, със светодиоди и отдолу ще имат екрани за други данни. по линията пловдив-свиленград, след 3 и повече години

: Съгласна съм с това, само че в уикипедия има dwarf signal, light signal, colour signal, затова мисля, че най-точно е да се пише Railway Signal, както е и заглавието в Уикипедия :)

ако кажете Railway Signal, това няма да означава светофор, нито светлинен сигнал. в жп има и други сигнали и ще се приеме, че точно тях имате предвид, ако липсва "лайт"

Т. е. това е синоним на светофар. Под руско/съветско влияние.

За влакове не съм чул да се използва. Там май е семафор.

За метрото гарантирам 100%, че казват светофор, тъй като съм работил там.

: на български се използва руското "светофор", но на английски е, както го казах. Светлините са част от системата за охраняване и сигнализация и се наричат signal lights. имам опит с НКЖИ и чужди жп фирми.

traffic signal
Поне в Англия се използва това. Постоянно имаше signal failures, които водеха до закъснения на влаковете и метрото.
"Traffic-signal-controlled intersections next to railroad crossings on one of the roads usually have this feature. Approaching trains activate a routine where, before the train signals and gates are activated, all traffic signal phases go to red, except for the signal immediately after the train crossing, which turns green (or flashing yellow) to allow traffic on the tracks to clear (in some cases, there are auxiliary traffic signals prior to the railroad crossing which will turn red, keeping new traffic from crossing the tracks. This is in addition to the flashing lights on the crossing gates themselves). After enough time to clear the crossing, the signal will turn. The crossing lights may begin flashing and the gates lower immediately, or this might be delayed until after the traffic light turns red."

: Signal обикновено се използва за превод на семафор. Семафорът в България не е синоним на светофор, което може да се види в Гугъл. http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Семафор Светофар и светофор е едно и също, но не е семафор.

може, не споря, но traffic lights e светофар, а не светофор, т.е. излиза, че е едно и също? :(

As you can see, I have given agree to the answer below, which means I have admitted my answer is not correct. Besides, I was the first to mention signal, if I had not, traffic lights would have already been accepted as a correct answer due to the 2 agrees

: Галя, ако погледнете текста, който сте дали за пример, там става въпрос за прелез, където, разбира се има и светофар за пътното движение
