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 Bangladesh?
The Road Sign Manual describes B32, Low Flying Aircraft. It warns that the road crosses a low aircraft flight path, usually near a runway end, and prepares drivers for the sight and sudden loud noise of aircraft. This hazard warning is different from a direction sign identifying an airport.
Warning for low-flying aircraft.
English • Traffic sign B32 • Low-flying aircraft. Maintain control of your vehicle and avoid being distracted by the noise or appearance of aircraft.
বাংলা • B32 • নিচু দিয়ে বিমান চলাচল. সামনে বিমান নিচু দিয়ে উড়তে পারে। শব্দ বা হঠাৎ উপস্থিতিতে বিভ্রান্ত না হয়ে গাড়ির নিয়ন্ত্রণ বজায় রাখুন।

Does an aircraft warning automatically reduce the speed limit in Bangladesh?
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.
What if a low-flying aircraft distracts you while driving in Bangladesh?
Keep your eyes on the road, maintain your lane and avoid sudden braking or steering simply to watch the aircraft. If you need to stop, find a safe and permitted stopping place.
