Whistle Signals for Opening Draws:
Main river: 1 long, 2 short. ( __ _ _ )
Old River: 1 long, 1 short, 1 long, 1 short. ( __ _ __ _ )
All movable bridges are equipped with a whistle synchronized with a white light. Bridge operator will answer boat signal by a long and short whistle with light signal, and if bridges cannot be immediately opened, 3 blasts of whistle with light will be given as a check signal.
