A barge displaying a 2' X 3' white sign with the word "WARNING" followed by "DANGEROUS CARGO" in black letters _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) would require that a cargo information card be carried in the pilothouse of the towboat.
This is correct because the presence of a "WARNING" sign indicating "DANGEROUS CARGO" on a barge requires the towboat to carry a cargo information card in the pilothouse. This card provides critical details about the type and hazards of the cargo, which is necessary for the safe operation of the tow.
The other options are incorrect because: B) the location of the barge in the tow is not specified by the warning sign, C) the towboat and barge may be towed together, and D) the warning sign does not prohibit towing a gasoline barge in the same tow.
