Question 316Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY A fleet of moored barges extends into a navigable channel. What is the color of the lights on the barges?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) White.
According to the United States Coast Guard regulations, a fleet of moored barges extending into a navigable channel must display white lights at night. This is to ensure that the presence of the barges is clearly visible to other vessels navigating the channel, thus preventing collisions.
The other answer choices are incorrect because yellow, amber, and red lights are not the required colors for this situation. Yellow and amber lights are typically used for cautionary or warning purposes, while red lights are reserved for port-side navigation lights on vessels.
