 It is the normal line speed for that section of track.
 
Mark,
If what you say is route signalling in the USA, what aspects do the
signals show
when you are diverging to a left hand road as distinct from a right hand
road, where
both exist at that location?
If they show the same aspect, then it is not route signalling.
