1. Aircraft

An aircraft warning is a traffic warning indicating that aircraft may pass at low altitude above or close to the road, usually near an airport, airfield or flight path. The warning is intended to prepare drivers for the sudden appearance or noise of low-flying aircraft.

Drivers should remain focused on the road and avoid sudden braking or steering movements if an aircraft passes overhead. The design and use of aircraft warning signs vary between countries.

What should an aircraft-warning sign tell drivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

The national sign rulebook includes a warning for an aerodrome runway nearby, identifying a road section over which aircraft fly low when landing or taking off. This is different from an airport direction sign. Keep attention on the road; the warning itself does not prescribe a new numerical speed limit.

Does an aircraft warning automatically reduce the speed limit in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

No, not by itself. A hazard warning is not a numerical speed-limit sign. Obey any separately displayed speed restriction and adjust speed if actual conditions make this necessary.
