General Navigation USCG Question #165 (Set 6)

Which daymark has no lateral significance?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Black and white diamond

The black and white diamond daymark is a non-lateral aid to navigation. Unlike red or green lateral markers, it does not indicate the side of a channel. It is typically used to mark ranges or specific points of interest that do not provide directional guidance for channel transit.
