Of the bigger buoys, the one nearest to the shore on the side of Gardens by the Bay West has a sign that says: "DANGER NO ENTRY". While the other two bigger yellow buoys also bear signs, it is unclear what the signs say. Printed on both sides of each of the 7 smaller buoys are the words: "KEEP OUT".
