No wake or idle speed refers to a regulation in waterway navigation that requires vessels to operate at minimal speeds to prevent the creation of waves or wakes that could erode shorelines, disturb wildlife, or affect other boaters. This speed limit is typically enforced in designated areas, such as near docks, marinas, and sensitive ecological zones. By adhering to no wake or idle speed, boaters help ensure safety and environmental protection in these areas.
Speed limits and shoreline speed zones in the United States are primarily regulated by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which aim to protect marine wildlife. Additionally, state laws and local ordinances may further regulate these aspects based on specific environmental and safety considerations. These regulations often focus on minimizing disturbances to marine life and ensuring safe boating practices.
You may legally operate your boat at greater than slow no wake speed in designated areas such as open waters, away from crowded shorelines, docks, or moored vessels. Additionally, certain lakes and rivers may have specific zones marked for higher speeds. Always check local regulations and signage to ensure compliance with speed limits in specific areas.
The part on a machine that regulates speed is called a governor. It works by adjusting the flow of fuel or other input to control the speed of the machine. Governors are commonly used in engines and other mechanical systems to maintain a consistent speed under different conditions.
There are "zones" around the neighborhood. There is a school zone. There also are speed zones.
