Signals Facing Question?

If all signals face in the same direction would a train traveling in the opposite direction still be meet the required 2 mile intervals?
 
If a signal is facing the opposite direction to your direction of travel then it has no effect on your speed.
required 2 mile intervals
I don't know what that is - sounds like some sort of separation rule and that would vary between railway systems and locations. Separation would be controlled by the signals that are facing you, not those facing the opposite direction.

My theories.
 
it a hypothetical in case I ever had some odd problem I could not explain.
Perhaps I should have said "two signals spaced less than 2 miles apart, but with one facing in the wrong direction"- will that result in a slowdown. If that remains a confusing question just leave it. Not life threatening. Thanks for your patience.
Note: I assume that signal spacing greater than 2 miles causes a 1/2 speed slowdown. If that assumption is wrong then the question is invalid.

Trainz will look ahead a very long way - from memory 30+ kms - to find the next signal. If no signal is found in that distance, or the signal at 30km ahead is red, then the AI will drop its speed to half the line speed.
