Question 331Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY While underway you sight the lights shown in illustration D081RR below with the yellow lights flashing, what action should you take?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) pass between the two sets of vertical red lights.
This is the correct action because the lights shown in illustration D081RR depict a dredge or other floating plant, which is restricted in its ability to maneuver. According to the Inland Navigation Rules, you should pass between the two sets of vertical red lights to safely navigate around the dredge while leaving it on your starboard side.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) you should not wait for the dredge to cross your bow, as that would be an unsafe maneuver; B) the red lights do not indicate the need to stop, as they are simply marking the dredge's position; and D) passing the dredge on your starboard side is the proper action, not leaving all the lights on your starboard side.
