Question Ignorance of the law is no excuse but

Hello Forum.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse but hiding the law is just plain stupid.

Why is there no mandated signage at each and every launch ramp with a select few of the important safety rules?

The 150 foot rule.
The speed limit law while it is in effect.
The water ski and observer ages, numbers and allowed times.
The driver age and safety certificate requirements.
The overnight anchoring prohibition.
The PFDs for kids and all passengers law.
The No Rafting regulations.
The sound and exhaust restrictions.

Just to name a few important bullet points.

Why make it hard for boaters to know the basic rules and then complain that they don't follow them then clamor to make up even more rules?

Is there any reason that these few important items are not posted at every private and public launch ramp? Why hide them?
