🔍 Key Concepts

• Bridge radiotelephone signs used on drawbridges • Standard VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) as the international calling and distress channel • How call signs or channel numbers are typically shown on aids to navigation and bridge signs

💭 Think About

• Look for which option best matches how the Coast Guard usually labels VHF calling channels on signs (simple, clear, and visible from a distance). • Think about whether the sign would more likely emphasize the channel number, the call sign, or the color/shape to make it easy for mariners to recognize quickly. • Eliminate any answers that sound like they describe general information signs rather than a very specific sign for a radiotelephone‑equipped drawbridge.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option includes Channel 16, since that is the standard calling and distress channel for bridges with radiotelephones. • Check whether the described shape and color match common U.S. bridge and waterway sign practices (simple color schemes, high contrast). • Confirm that the sign would reasonably help a mariner quickly know which channel to call and that it applies specifically to drawbridges with radiotelephones.
