Yes but even NORAC rule 287 says you WILL BE DIVERGING, although I only
operated under NORAC rules for a short while I know that the bottom light did
mean you were diverging. Yes it gives a max. speed, like GCOR does, but the
important thing is that it tells you that you are diverging, unlike speed
signalling where the signals merely tell you what speed to go and give no clue
to wheather you are diverging.
