🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 10 – Traffic Separation Schemes of the Navigation Rules • The purpose of a traffic lane and how vessels are expected to move within it • Difference between joining a lane from the side vs. crossing the lane

💭 Think About

• Think about how to join a stream of traffic on a highway: what kind of angle makes your course most compatible with the vessels already in the lane? • Consider what the rule is trying to prevent: sharp turns, sudden speed changes, or crossing across many streams of traffic? • Which option best supports smooth, predictable movement in the same general direction as vessels already in the lane?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 10 specifically says about a vessel "joining a lane from the side" • Check which choice matches the idea of proceeding in the general direction of traffic flow rather than crossing it • Eliminate any options that describe actions that sound like crossing the lane instead of joining and following it
