Why this sign: It should be posted at water access points, boat launch areas and along the banks of waterways where motorised craft are restricted by law, local bylaws or conservation policy. The sign addresses the risks of collision with non-motorised users such as swimmers, canoeists and rowers, as well as preventing noise pollution, wake damage and harm to aquatic wildlife habitats.

This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
