Question 330Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY You see the lights shown in illustration D085RR below while proceeding in a channel. What action should you take?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Slow down and pass between the two sets of double red lights.
This is the correct action because the illustration depicts the lights for a "Restricted Channel" according to the United States Coast Guard's Navigation Rules. The two sets of double red lights indicate that the channel is restricted, meaning vessels must proceed with caution and at a slow, safe speed when passing between the red lights. Proceeding at full speed (option A) or stopping and waiting (option B) would be improper and unsafe actions in a restricted channel situation.
