General Navigation USCG Q#188 (Set 6)

When the navigational channel passes under a fixed bridge, the edges of the channel are marked on the bridge with what lights?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Red lights

Bridge navigation lights are governed by 33 CFR Part 118. Red lights are used to mark the edges of the channel passing under a fixed bridge. These lights provide clear visual guidance to mariners, ensuring vessels remain within the safe, dredged channel limits while transiting under the bridge structure.
