No such thing.  We can get Yellow over Red, which indicates Turnout, next signal
at stop.  At Glenfield, you could pass a yellow over red at 80 km/h without
undue stress.  It comes back to road knowledge.  A driver once told me he had a
Victorian spark driver up the front one day at Glenfield, and the visitor was
very worried as the train passed a Yellow over Uellow turnout indication at 80
km/h, still powering.
