If you are refering to nautical channels, these are pretty much universal (unlike road laws). The green 'channel' is usually a line of green bouys, markers or poles (with green lights for night) to show the deepest way up a channel or river for boat navigation. The red 'channel' is merely the opposite.

What is the function of a buoy that has alternating red and green horizontal bands?

Red and Green Colors and/or Lights: These are placed at the junction of two channels to indicate the preferred (primary) channel when a channel splits. If green is on top, the preferred channel is to the right. If red is on top, the preferred channel is to the left. These also are sometimes referred to as "junction buoys."


What does a buoy with red and green bands mean?

Preferred channel markers are buoys showing red and green bands.


What green and red lights meaning '?

When returning to the harbor, you will see a green light on the left side of the ship channel and a red light on the right side of the channel. Go outside those lights and you may run aground onto the bottom in shallow water. Just remember this old adage: "Red on Right when Returning". The opposite is true when departing the harbor to go to sea, i.e., red light will be on the left and green light will be on the right.

What do you do when you see a bouy with a number 3 a green light?

This is a channel marker, placed on the edge of a channel. Green markers will always have an odd number on them. If you are heading upstream it should be to your left. If you are heading downstream it should be to your right. It will be opposite a red marker or bouy with an even number on it. To aid in navigating, the term "red, right, returning" is used meaning as you return from open waters (head upstream), the red marker, bouy, sign etc, should be to your right. That means the green one, in your example with a 3 on it, should be to your left. If its on your right side, you are outside the cleared channel area.
