Slow/idle speed under bridges?
"Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "Gfretwell" wrote in message ... How common is this? I know it has been the law in Pinellas County (Fla) for a number of years but in Lee County it is a mixed bag. If you exclude the bridges that are in congested docking areas where everything is no wake, we have 2 main ones near me (New Pass and Big Carlos Pass). Big Carlos is idle speed under the draw span, New Pass is "Normal Safe". Is there any logic to this? BTW if I read the sign correctly, anywhere else under the Big Carlos bridge is Normal Safe too but you might get a 4 oz pyramid sinker and a few hooks in your face Slow might be a decent thing, to give fishermen time to reel their lines out of the way, or even deal with a fish on the hook, which can be tricky from a bridge. Who needs the law for this kind of consideration? I always thought it was mandatory. Nevertheless, I always go slow...because you never know when some yahoo on a jet ski is going to pop out around a corner. |
