Question 383Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY A law enforcement vessel patrolling a marine regatta may exhibit a flashing blue light or which of the following alternates?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) an alternately flashing red and yellow light.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, law enforcement vessels patrolling a marine regatta are permitted to exhibit an alternately flashing red and yellow light as an alternate to a flashing blue light. This visual signal helps alert other vessels in the area that a law enforcement vessel is present and operating.
The other options are incorrect because: A) two amber lights in a horizontal line is not a recognized signal for law enforcement vessels, C) a fixed green light over a red flashing light is used for certain navigational purposes, not law enforcement, and D) a high intensity flashing white light is used for different purposes, such as signaling distress.
