What is TTI?

I also made a large post about the TTI several months ago in the Tracks out of service thread.
They/Them for me, please.

On that note, Crossing Signals in Slovakia and Czechia are based on designs from the Soviet Union, which themselves are based on American Designs from GRS and WRRS. The similarities are particularly noticeable with these photos from a Russian Modelling Website.[/quote]

This also explains the use of American-Style Wishbone Gates.https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9269066 ... 312!8i6656

I'm not 100% sure but there was an image somewhere of the crossing that showed the Ped gate had been removed.
