running lights

Vessel visibility markers

Running lights are the lights a vehicle or vessel displays while in motion, primarily for visibility rather than illumination.

On boats, these include red and green sidelights indicating port and starboard.

On cars, running lights are low-intensity headlights that stay on automatically during daytime driving.

Also called navigation lights on watercraft.
