In the ICW, the yellow square should be kept to which side?

In the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), a yellow square indicates a point of reference for navigation, specifically a marker that indicates where to go when following the channel. When you see a yellow square, it is important to keep it to your left side as you travel. This is part of the aids to navigation system that helps ensure safe passage through the waterway.

Navigating within the ICW relies on standardized markings to prevent confusion. Keeping the yellow square to the left aligns with the general rules for mariners, which also include specific protocols for other navigational markers such as red and green buoys. By understanding and following these markers, you ensure both your safety and compliance with maritime navigation standards.
