UK Style Semaphores from scenario United Kingdom: 1860-2100

Okay, I'm trying to work out how exactly I enable these UK style semaphore signals in new scenarios. I've tried saving the NewGRFs from the scenario that has them and having them enabled when starting a new scenario, with no extra NewGRFs; no NewGRFs at all; opening the original scenario in the scenario editor and generating a new landscape in there and saving it.
Regardless I always end up with the German/Austrian style semaphore signals. (White arms, with the the circle on the end.)

They appear in the scenario United Kingdom: 1860-2100 viewtopic.php?f=60&t=77124 by Darkhoodness.

I have attached a screenshot of the path, block and entry pre-signal that I'm talking about.

Thank you for any assistance.

the signal style is tied to the settings "road traffic side: left" and "signal side is same as road traffic side"

Wow, that was easy. Many thanks Eddi!


Maybe I'll see about joining the OpenTTD Wiki project to add this information to the signals article (https://wiki.openttd.org/Signals). Save someone the frustration down the road.

Okay... Bumping this because apparently they removed the "Road Vehicles" option from the gray settings box that you used to use to change the signal, and I can't work out what the new solution (if there is one) to change the signals...
Tried using the options in the purple "Settings" window, but couldn't get the signals to change from the 'default' right side 'German' style signals to the UK style.


I'm using OpenTTD 13.0.
