USCG Exam Practice · Rule 10 — Traffic Separation Schemes

Under Inland Rule 10, when a vessel is obliged to cross a traffic lane, she shall do so on a heading as nearly as practicable at what angle to the general direction of traffic flow?

  1. A45 degrees
  2. BAs small an angle as practicable
  3. CRight angles✓ correct
  4. DParallel to the traffic flow

Why C is correct

33 CFR §83.10(c) states that if a vessel is obliged to cross a traffic lane, she shall cross on a heading as nearly as practicable at right angles to the general direction of traffic flow. This minimizes the time spent in the lane and makes the vessel's intentions clear to other traffic.
