Traffic lanes are intended for use by vessels 1600 gross tons and over; arrows indicate the approximate direction of traffic flow with each line. The provisions of Inland Navigation Rule 9 apply to all vessels navigating in the traffic lanes. One-way traffic lanes overprinted on this chart are RECOMMENDED for use by all vessels traveling between the points involved. They have been designed to aid in the prevention of collisions at the approaches to San Francisco Bay but are not intended in any way to supersede or alter the applicable Rules of the Road. Separation zones are intended to separate inbound and outbound traffic and to be free of ship traffic. Separation zones should not be used except for crossing purposes. Mariners are requested to stay outside the circular separation zone centered on San Francisco Approach Lighted Horn Buoy S.F.. When crossing traffic lanes and separation zones use extreme caution.
