Uniform State Regulatory Markers
Regulatory markers indicate dangerous or restricted controlled
areas. These markers are used to indicate speed zones, areas set
aside for particular use, general information and directions.
Regulatory markers are white with orange geometric shapes and
also have orange bands near the top and at the water line of the
buoy. You must obey regulatory markers.
