International Rules of the Road

Read a random definition: doctrine of contra proferentem

A quick definition of International Rules of the Road:

International Rules of the Road: These are laws that help keep boats and ships safe while they are traveling on the water. The rules were made by people from different countries who wanted to make sure that everyone who uses the waterways follows the same rules. The rules say things like what lights boats should have at night, how to signal if there is danger, and how to avoid crashing into other boats. The rules were made in 1972 and are called the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. They are very important for keeping people safe on the water.

A more thorough explanation:

International Rules of the Road refer to a set of laws that are designed to ensure safety while navigating at sea. These rules were established at the convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea in 1972. The rules specify requirements for navigation lights, day shapes, steering and sailing rules, sound signals in good and restricted visibility condition, and distress signals, among other things.

For example, one of the rules requires that a vessel underway must display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility. This helps other vessels to see and avoid collisions.

Congress has adopted these rules and enacted them in statutory form. They are also known as 72 COLREGS or International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.
