Anyone know the signals to open a draw bridge?
So it seems like this should have an easy answer but I am conflicted. I called the city, and the guy in charge of the workers thought it MIGHT BE 3 short blasts of the horn. I looked do at a iPad app and it states that the Coast Guard rules state, '3 long, 4-6 seconds, blasts, and 1 short, 1 second, blast'. Thoughts?
I changed my dock location to up river to save myself 75% of my dock costs! but now I have the bridge to deal with
Thanks,
Steve

The sound signal to contact the bridge is one prolonged blast followed within 3 seconds with one short blast. The bridge tender will acknowledge an OK with the same signal. If there is a problem in opening at that time the bridge tender will answer with a "NO" by sounding five short blasts. You acknowledge your understanding of the "NO" by responding with five short blasts.

To alert the bridge master you are waiting, one blast of the horn is all it takes.
He does not acknowledge your blast.
