Basic Rules Of The
Road
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 waterways. The United States Aids to Navigation System
(USATONS) is the primary marking system used on inland water, coastal
waters and rivers. This system is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard
(USCG).
WARNING
The nautical rules of the road must be followed to prevent
collisions between vessels. Like traffic laws for automobiles,
the operator is legally required to follow the rules.
