🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rules – special flashing light signals for certain government or public safety vessels • Meaning of an alternating red-and-yellow flashing light under the Inland Navigation Rules • Relationship between being the stand-on vessel and your duty to avoid impeding special operations or public safety activities

💭 Think About

• First, identify what type of vessel shows an alternately flashing red-and-yellow light under the Inland Rules. What is that vessel doing or allowed to do? • Ask yourself: even if you are the stand-on vessel in an overtaking situation, do you ever have to maneuver when the other vessel is engaged in special operations or displaying special signals? • Consider whether your primary duty in this case is to maintain course and speed, or to stay clear and not interfere with the other vessel’s mission.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Inland Navigation Rules what an alternately flashing red-and-yellow light signifies and which vessels may show it. • Check whether vessels engaged in public safety or law enforcement activities can require other vessels not to impede their operation, even if those others are normally stand-on. • Confirm whether a stand-on vessel must still take action if necessary to avoid collision or interference with a specially marked vessel’s operations.
