Who are inshore traffic zones generally used by?

  1. Vessels less than 20 meters in length or by sailing vessels

  2. Only government and police vessels

  3. Only vessels over 20 meters in length

  4. Submarines

The correct answer is: Vessels less than 20 meters in length or by sailing vessels

Inshore traffic zones (ITZ) are areas of water designated for vessels to navigate safely near shore. They are typically used by small vessels under 20 meters in length or by sailing vessels, as these types of vessels are more commonly found in areas closer to the shore. Option B is incorrect because ITZs are not reserved exclusively for government and police vessels. Option C is incorrect because ITZs are not limited to only vessels over 20 meters in length. Option D is incorrect because ITZs are not intended for submarines, which typically operate in deeper waters. Therefore, the best answer is A.
