I checked the threads and couldnt find this particular question, and also checked the web.
I am no leagl scholar, and dont need to go to jail over a small fee,
Question:
I have to do a shoot for a job.
One of my orbit shots takes me over and across a road.
Here is the question, only because I have recieved umpteen different answers from umpteen different peoplem (not on this forum).
I know there is no flying (directly over people).
I know there is no flying over moving vehicles.
Everything you find on the web has to do with "flying over moving vehicles", which would be a no-no.
Does anyone know what the guidelines would be (since the drone would be in VLOS at all times,
can you cross a road, if you have no traffic on it?
as far as i believe, and can understand, there is no regulation against that, and there really is no legal verbiage that says it straight out.
We are talking a road with a 25 mph speed limit, and its a straight shot, so the road can be watched at all times.
I start my orbit of my POI,
before I allow the drone to fly over the road, I check there are zero vehicles coming, otherwise I pause the drone, and let it hover until no traffic is present. then i would continue my orbit over the road when it is empty.
Can anyone please answer that question for me?
It would put to rest a lot of questions.
Thanks you!
