Warning boards and what they mean | When we are displaying these boards at locks, we advise users of all boats not to navigate because the strong flows make it difficult and dangerous. Those in hire boats arriving at a lock where these boards are displayed should stop immediately and contact their hire boat operator to ask their instructions. |  | When we are displaying these boards at locks, we advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to find a safe mooring. This is because river flows are likely to strengthen and red boards could be displayed very soon and without warning. |  | When we are displaying these boards at locks, we advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to navigate with caution. |
