Uruguay
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.
Does an aircraft warning automatically reduce the speed limit in Uruguay?
Where the aircraft sign is a prescribed danger warning on a rural road outside urban and suburban areas, the regulation reduces the relevant maximum to 60 km/h near it if no numerical maximum is indicated. Obey any lower applicable restriction and choose a still lower speed if the hazard or conditions require it. Do not assume that every warning is merely advisory about speed.
What if a low-flying aircraft distracts you while driving in Uruguay?
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.
