§ 921.131. Duty upon approach of law enforcement vessel.  


Latest version.
  • (A)

    Upon the approach of a law enforcement vessel with at least one (1) flashing, rotating or oscillating light of a color conforming with the requirements of federal law, the operator of any vessel shall stop if followed or give way in any crossing, head on, or overtaking situation, and shall remain in that position until the law enforcement vessel has passed, except when otherwise directed by a law enforcement officer. If traffic conditions warrant, a siren or other sound-producing device also may be operated as an additional signaling device. This section does not relieve the operator of any law enforcement vessel from the duty to operate with due regard for the safety of all persons and property on the waterways of the city.

    (B)

    No person shall permit any vessel to be operated on the waterways of the city in violation of this section.
