At times there can be considerable activity in the restricted waters around the Kew Bridge including; regular through traffic, rowing vessels and passenger boats manoeuvring on and off Kew Pier.
The visibility on the bend in the vicinity of Kew Bridge is particularly restricted.
Power driven vessels are reminded to sound one prolonged blast when approaching the bridge from either direction (International Regulations – Rule 34a) and when leaving Kew Pier (PLA Byelaw - 36). All vessels are to listen carefully for and be guided by the sound signals.
All craft are to keep a particularly good look out and navigate with extreme caution in the area.
