Then somebody pointed out to HS that passing under a bridge, oh say in Newport, RI for example - or any of the rail bridges along the shoreline in CT, automatically put a boat within the exclusion zone and that ferry, commercial and recreational traffic would be literally stopped dead, they changed it to within 150 feet of any support piling. Then somebody pointed out that the pylons of the Newport Bridge, not to mention other bridges are close enough to disallow passage, they settled on "lingering" under bridges. Bureaucrats. |
