This state list could predate the mandatory prefix, I remember that this was changed and we did a lot o retagging to make sure the values are unique worldwide. So in Germany the values ending at 0 are "stop",1 is "pass", and "2" is "pass slowly" or "expect stop". There are multiple signalling systems around, but that is what they have in common. For the oldest system (H/V) the main aspects are named Hp, and the distand aspects are named Vr. As a distant signal can only show what the main signal has this means: main: DE-ESO:hp0;DE-ESO:hp2 (stop, pass slowly) distant: DE-ESO:vr0;DE-ESO:vr2 As a bonus the stop aspect is named "hp0" in all signalling systems, so you may as well see "DE-ESO:hp0;DE-ESO:ks2", meaning "stop" and "expect stop". The H/V hp2 is a "pass slowly" aspect, if not noted with an additional speed signal means 40km/h. The Ks2 aspect means "expect stop", all speed regulations are explicitely signalled in this system.
