My boating experience in other states is minimal, but I believe if we used signage that matches other staters it could be more effective. I'm OK with our unique buoy system, but orange and white cylinder buoys to mark speed limits and NWZ could be more effective than the red and white signs currently in use. Most of us on this forum know what we're doing, but that doesn't get through to those with different experience.
I can't say how many years it's been but when we had Marine Patrol Auxiliary, I thought their presence was valuable in helping to control many of the issues we currently whine about here.

I feel like for every person who doesn't know the rules there is another who just doesn't care about them.
