Cambridge MA: Vehicle recovery from Charles River

Tim watched the car being winched out of the river.

All the occupants removed safely from the waterlogged car off Western Avenue around 11:30 a.m., State Police report.

Photo from the scene.

Mike Moura photographed the scene from the other side, as State Police and a tow truck prepared to remove the car from the river:

Are there signs saying "STAY ON LAND"? Are they in compliance with the International Not-Driving-Into-Water standards guideline 405(C).34, ratified at the 1987 Antwerp convention?
