🔍 Key Concepts

• Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) markings that use yellow shapes on existing red/green lateral buoys • Meaning of a yellow square vs. yellow triangle on ICW aids to navigation • How the standard red-right-returning rule interacts with ICW yellow symbols when you are traveling southbound along the ICW

💭 Think About

• When you are traveling southbound along the ICW, which side are the ICW "preferred marks" on? Think about how yellow shapes help you treat that buoy for ICW purposes. • What does a yellow square tell you about which side to pass on when following the ICW, compared to a yellow triangle? • Does a yellow shape normally indicate end of the ICW, a charting error, or is it an intentional symbol with a specific lateral meaning for ICW traffic?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify from an aids-to-navigation reference what yellow squares and yellow triangles mean on ICW buoys. • Confirm whether retro-reflective material is normally the same color as the yellow shapes, or if it is a different standard material/color. • Check which side (port or starboard) ICW marks with yellow squares should be kept on when proceeding in the ICW conventional direction (southbound or westbound).

This buoy marks the end of the ICW in that geographic area.

You should leave the buoy on your port hand.

The yellow square is in error and it should be a yellow triangle.

The yellow is retro-reflective material used to assist in sighting the buoy at night.
