A circle marker is a symbol on a regulatory marker that is used to mark a no wake or idle speed area.
The symbol used on a regulatory marker to indicate a no wake or idle speed area is typically a white circle with a diagonal stripe (often black or red). This marker signifies that boaters must operate at idle speed, minimizing wake and ensuring safety in sensitive areas. It is important for boaters to be aware of these markers to avoid potential hazards and comply with local regulations.

It is a control buoy- indicates speed limits, no-wake zones, etc
The symbol used to mark a "no wake" or idle speed area is typically a white circle with a diagonal red stripe or a red circle with a white diagonal stripe. This sign indicates that vessels must operate at a speed that does not create a wake, ensuring safety and protection of the waterway and its surroundings. The specific design may vary by jurisdiction, but the intent remains the same. Always check local regulations for precise markings.
This is a non-lateral marker. It can indicate a controlled area, such as no wake. It can be an informational marker, a "keep out" marker, or a warning marker (Dam, Rock, etc)
A crossed diamond is used to mark a swimming area. This is considered a 'Boat Exclusion Area," and may be placed outside spots such as a dam, rapids, swim area, etc.
