Personal Watercraft, Uniform State Waterway Marking System
Monday, Oct. 18th 2010 6:09 AM
Most waterways used by boaters are located entirely within the boundaries of the state. The California Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters. The waterway marking system employs buoys and signs with distinctive standard shapes to show regulatory or advisory information.
These markers are white with black letters and have orange borders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information. Aids to navigation on state waters use red and green buoys to mark channel limits. Red and green buoys are generally used in pairs. The boat should pass between the red buoy and its companion green buoy.
