Speedometer

This speedometer is designed by putting it on images and videos that involve driving. In this example, the speedometer is used for a car, separating the speed into increments of 25-40 mph with a max speed of 100-160 mph. I also set up the speedometer in km/h and included yellow and red sections to alert you to the dangers of going at a very high speed. It also applies to trains but has three different categories with different max speeds. There were three options of a train speedometer, with a max speed of 80, 100, and 220 mph. The speedometer diagram was used to simulate recorded videos and estimate photos.

The speedometer has three signal words: warning, danger, and peril. It applies to cars and trains.

All caps were used for road conditions, while the exclamation mark was added for emergencies and sudden traffic slowdowns.

Signal word All caps Exclamation Notes
Warning Yes No If the speedometer is 16.7% above the speed limit or at least 80 mph, or
if there are weather advisories in the area
Danger Yes Yes If the speedometer is 33.3% above the speed limit or at least 99 mph or
if there is a weather watch or traffic involving construction
Danger No Yes Only used in any weather warning, including high - very high fire danger or red flag warning,
or if obstructions or accidents cause traffic and bad road conditions
Peril Yes Yes If the speedometer is 50% above the speed limit or at least 110 mph or
if there is a road closure related to an accident or weather

Examples of signal words given out based on the speedometer

  • Bus and Train Active List

    This list was similar to above, but it was based on a classification used on the conservation status page like the Red List of Trains.

    Classification Equivalent to Notes
    Active Least Concern In service and operational
    Reserve Near threatened Replacement plan announced or fleet placed in reserve
    Warning Vulnerable Buses or trains that will retire soon
    Danger Endangered Parts of the fleet were gradually retired
    Danger Critically endangered Most of the fleet retired and will be withdrawn very soon
    Retired Extinct No longer in service and cannot be restored to service
    Data deficient Data deficient Not enough information

    Sacramento Effect

    This word that I made up was called the Sacramento Effect because I was playing Splatoon 3 turf war match when a deviation of +/- 15% triggered how the team was way behind, but in some cases, the turfing coverage was unstable and the team that was behind can make a comeback within 10-30 seconds because of team effort. I looked on Twitch and X some of the time about this common sighting.

    It was called this because of how the door buttons were sounding once the Sacramento light rail train makes a full stop in a station. When the door closes, the beeping was heard. I commonly heard the beeping noise of the CAF light rail trains.
