What is the significance of the color and number combination on lateral markers?

They indicate the depth of the water
They mark safe water areas
They signify water temperature
They show the speed limit

The correct answer is: They mark safe water areas

Lateral markers signify the direction of a navigable waterway, and they provide important information to boaters about their location on the waterway. The color and number combination on lateral markers work together to convey specific information about which side of the waterway is safe to navigate, and how far from the shore or obstruction the vessel must be. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe the purpose of lateral markers. They do not indicate the water depth, temperature, or speed limit. Therefore, these options are incorrect. Option B is the correct answer because lateral markers are used to mark safe water areas, helping boaters navigate safely and avoid potential hazards.
