The nautical rules of the road must be followed to prevent colli-
sions between vessels. Like traffic laws for automobiles, the
operator is legally required to follow safe operating rules.
The following information outlines only the most basic of the nautical
rules of the road. For more information, contact your local U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary.
AIDS TO NAVIGATION
Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are the
signposts of the waterway. There are 2 primary marking systems in use
in the U.S.; the Uniform State Waterway Marking System (USWMS)
used on inland waters and maintained by each state, and the Federal
Waterways Marking System (FWMS) used on coastal waters and
rivers and maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). In addition,
the FWMS has two modified systems; Western River Buoyage, and
Intracoastal Waterway Buoyage. Be sure to check with local authorities
on the buoyage system in use.
The only buoys you are permitted to moor to are mooring buoys.
Mooring to a navigation buoy or other navigational aid or regulatory
marker is illegal.
The type of hazard/warning buoys and markers depend on the area of
jurisdiction. Check with boating authorities for information on local
marking systems.
USWMS System
In the USWMS Lateral System, well defined channels are marked with
red and black buoys. Lateral means the sides of the channel are
marked and the boat should pass between them.
The USWMS Cardinal System is used when there is no well defined
channel or where an obstruction may be approached from more than
one direction. With the cardinal system:
●
Pass north or east of BLACK-TOPPED WHITE buoy.
●
Pass south or west of RED-TOPPED WHITE buoy.
●
RED and WHITE VERTICALLY STRIPED buoy indicates boat
should pass outside of the buoy (away from shore).
