In plain language

If you fly a C3, C4, or legacy drone weighing 250g or more, you are not allowed to cross or hover over a highway. You must also respect the 1:1 rule when flying alongside it.

Requirement as structured

Transportstyrelsen's guidance (based on EASA guidance) states, as a recommendation for flying over a motorway or expressway, that drones in class C3 or C4 are not permitted to cross or hover over the road, and the 1:1 rule applies.
