TRAFFIC SEPARATION SCHEME

One-way traffic lanes are RECOMMENDED for used by all vessels travelling between the points involved. They have been designed to aid in the prevention of collisions at the approaches to Delaware Bay, but are not intended in any way to supersede or alter the applicable Rules of the Road. Separation zones are intended to separate inbound and outbound traffic and to be free of ship traffic. Separation zones should not be used except for crossing purposes. When crossing traffic lane and separation zones mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution.
