Run wires from these to indicator lamps wherever you want them.
Most manufacturers of turnouts also supply matching switches to fit them.

Thank you Koot. I took a look at the website and it looks very doable

1. If you do your switching electronically, from a control panel, you could insert LED indicators into the control panel, connected to the switch motor. The LED lit indicates the open route.
2, You could install ground signals (either dwarf or masted types) again controlled from the switch controller,
3. You could install a slave board showing a schematic of the track plan, LEDs again indicating direction.

It is a website here in South Africa. Go to “Articles” and there you’ll find a way to indicate switch directions.
