It means the same as a regular amber signal, as it applies to LRT which can stop (usually quicker than) simalar to a bus (or at least here in Europe anyway)
Any kind of light rail that cross roads has railroad preemption. When I was down in Baltimore, They used regular RAIL ROAD CROSSING lights and gates.
We use preemption, usually in the form of a force bit being sent to the signal controller via MOVA. However we have never, and nor do any other EU countries to the best of my knowlege, use Distant signalling.
