Race Signals
The meanings of visual and sound signals are stated below. An arrow pointing up or down means that a visual signal is displayed or removed. A dot means a sound; dots with dashes mean repetitive sounds. When a visual signal is displayed over a class flag, the signal applies only to that class.
