What is the general action taken when a clear aspect is displayed?

When a clear aspect is displayed, it indicates that the track ahead is clear and the train may proceed. This signal provides assurance to the train crew that there are no obstructions or conditions requiring the train to stop or reduce speed. Thus, the proper and expected action in this situation is to continue moving forward at the current speed, assuming it is safe and within the limits established in the operating rules. This understanding of the signals is crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency in train operations.

Reducing speed or stopping would be inappropriate responses to a clear signal, as the signal itself denotes that it is safe to proceed. Additionally, changing direction would not typically be involved when a signal indicates a clear aspect; such actions would be related to other circumstances, like a different signal indicating a switch or diverging route.
