BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE for a vessel in a traffic separation scheme that is joining a traffic lane from the side?

Correct Answer: Option A — the vessel should enter at as small an angle as possible to the traffic flow

Rule 10(c) requires a vessel joining a traffic lane from the side to do so at as small an angle as possible to the general direction of traffic flow. This minimizes the disruption to the established traffic stream and reduces the risk of collision with vessels already in the lane.
