We want that too, in fact, we think it already exist, namely at the wiki. Apparently, for you that is not the case.

Can you be more concrete what it is that you don't understand?
"signals" in general is a too large topic. You could fill a forum about them.
You have to ask a question about a specific situation instead. What specific setup do you fail to understand?
(And notice that stuff labeled "advanced" is really advanced, you cannot understand it without having the basics under your belt first, it is safe to ignore those parts the first few times.)

It often helps to post an example picture, or an example save game, and ask detailed questions ("I expect train X to go to Y, but it goes to Z instead. Why?")

The only you can really learn about it, is by reading the wiki, and then practicising in the game to see how it works (cheating is useful here), then reading the wiki, and the practicising some more.

guys i made a two roro stations that has only many path signals is it ok?

[Benny]

*sigh*

Maybe, maybe not, but most probably yes actually. But we need more to work with to help you. Post a picture of each station so that we can see where you've placed the different signals. With path signals there's most often very little to 'do wrong', but still.
