    3.1 ETCS Stop Marker


    3.1.1 Dimensions
    3.1.1.1 The dimensions of the ETCS Stop Marker shall be as outlined in Figure 1.
    3.1.1.2 The dimensions in figure 1 shall be used only as relative dimensions. The absolute size
    of the ETCS Stop Marker is not harmonised.
    3.1.1.3 For practical manufacturing purposes the actual relative dimension may deviate slightly
    from the relative dimensions given in Figure 1. This tolerance shall not exceed 5%.

    4 General requirements

    4.1 Operational use


    4.1.1.1 The operational use of the ETCS marker boards is defined in [1].
    4.1.1.2 In order to enable the driver to refer to a specific marker board each ETCS marker
    board shall be provided with a clearly visible and unambiguous identification.

    4.2 Colours
    4.2.1.1 The colours of the ETCS marker boards shall be implemented according to Table 1.

    Table 1 Colour and luminance factors

    4.2.1.1.1 Note: Table 1 is consistent with the daylight chromaticity and luminance factors class
    CR2 and with the coefficient of retroreflection class RA2, both as defined in [2].

    4.3 Reflectivity
    4.3.1.1 The retroreflectivity of the ETCS marker boards shall be implemented according to
    Table 2.
