See, the whole point is that if the buoys were larger you could A. see the colors because there would be a larger surface area of color. B. The numbers would also be able to be larger. As it is, I can't even distinguish the number or color with binoculars from a reasonable (read: safe) distance.
And they needn't be made of iron. Any plastic material will do. It's the size and shape that counts. Surely the state can't be that cheap, particularly in the interst of safety. They seem to spend money on all kinds of other nonsense.
