BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE for a vessel using a traffic separation scheme?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme

Rule 10(g) explicitly prohibits anchoring in or near the termination of a traffic separation scheme. Anchoring in these high-traffic transition zones creates significant collision risks for vessels maneuvering to enter or exit the lanes, thereby violating the fundamental safety purpose of the established traffic separation system.
