What type of buoys are typically used to indicate safe water?

The type of buoys typically used to indicate safe water are white buoys. These buoys mark areas where vessels can navigate without the risk of grounding or hitting submerged hazards. They often have specific markings that may indicate no-wake zones or other special regulations, but their primary purpose is to guide boaters to safe passages.

White buoys can also display additional signage that can inform boaters of local rules, such as no swimming zones or other specific restrictions, adding to their role in promoting safety on the water. This is important to ensure that boaters can confidently navigate through designated safe areas without encountering hazards.
