I'm retired from the Canadian Coast Guard, and in my last position I was responsible for processing bridge applications, and would be the one who would recommend navigation lights where required. <br /> <br />Having said that, I never had the opportunity to process an opening bridge, so don't recall the requirements. But the basics shouldn't change - there should be a green light displayed on both sides when the bridge is up, indicating vessels can make safe passage. Red would be when the bridge is down and no passage is possible. As to which should be flashing, I would say the red light so as to be more conspicuous to mariners. <br /> <br />Non opening bridges would normally have a white light between the piers to indicate the deepest and preferred channel to take. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau <br />Canadian Coast Guard Retired
