Rules of the Road USCG Question #853 (Set 14)

INLAND ONLY A power-driven vessel crossing a river on the Western Rivers has the right of way over which vessel?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — None of the above

Rule 9(b) and the Western Rivers regulations do not grant a crossing vessel right of way over vessels ascending or descending a river. In narrow channels or rivers, vessels must navigate with caution, and crossing vessels must not impede the passage of vessels that can safely navigate only within the channel.
