Requirement as structured

In the Open category, drone operations must not be conducted near or over roads or railways, except in subcategory A1 with drones weighing under 250g or bearing a C0 class marking.

Original regulatory text

Operando in Categoria Aperta, le operazioni non devono essere condotte vicino o sopra strade o ferrovie poichè in quell'area saranno presenti persone non coinvolte. L'unica eccezione è nella sottocategoria A1 ma limitata ai droni con peso sotto 250 g o con marcatura C0 poichè, secondo la UAS.OPEN.020(2), soltanto questi droni possono sorvolare persone non coinvolte
