In plain language

You may cross a motorway or expressway with a C0, C1, C2, or sub-250g legacy drone, but you must not hover over it. You must fly at least 20 meters above the ground and obstacles, keep the drone in sight, and ensure there are no moving vehicles on the road.

Requirement as structured

It is recommended that Class C0, C1, C2, or legacy drones under 250g may cross motorways or expressways only if they fly at least 20 meters high, maintain VLOS, and no moving vehicles are present.
