              Subpart B_The U.S. Aids to Navigation System

 

Sec. 62.49  Intracoastal Waterway identification.



    (a) In addition to the conventional signals, aids to navigation 

marking the Intracoastal Waterway exhibit unique yellow symbols to 

distinguish them from aids marking other waters.

    (1) Yellow triangles indicate that aids to navigation so marked 

should be passed keeping them on the starboard (right) hand of a vessel, 

regardless of the aid's number, color, or light color.

    (2) Yellow squares indicate that aids to navigation so marked should 

be passed keeping them on the port (left) hand of a vessel, regardless 

of the aid's number, color, or light color.

    (3) A horizontal yellow band provides no lateral information, but 

simply identifies aids to navigation as marking the Intracoastal 

Waterway.

    (b) The above guidelines apply for vessels traversing the 

Intracoastal Waterway in a southerly direction on the Atlantic Coast, in 

a westerly direction on the Okeechobee Waterway, or in a westerly 

direction along the Gulf Coast.
