Strange Drone sign in Gran Canaria

[CJG]

Buenos tardes Señors,

As readers of another thread will know, I left my drone at home, whilst going on a walking holiday of Gran Canaria: too many restrictions, and I’m law abiding!

Whilst coming down from Roque Nublo to Tejada, we came across the following road sign:



We get the “Attention Motorists” and “3 victims in 5 years” but what is the pictogram part of the sign about?

Helicopter, drone, scanner and bicycle? Have drones in “follow me” mode chasing a bicycle caused accidents?

Not exactly self explanatory!!

Any answers?

Thanks guys

My impression is that the further you go past that point the signal fades completly off .

Gear to fly in the Rain. Land on the River .

Vehicle speeds are being monitored by helicopters and drones.

It looks like they want the cyclists to be aware of their speed. Maybe they are monitoring with helicopters and drones?
I found this sign…

MS Coast was faster than me

So to bring clarity , this is a Dangerous Road, 3 incidents have occured and were watching you witih both air and drone eyes.

Thanks folks. Very interesting. I instinctively thought it was anti-drone but maybe not. Even if I was not law abiding, I wouldn’t have flown my drone at Roque Nublo: was like Piccadilly Circus! There is a car park near by and everybody used that. Not walking all the way up like we did!!

Police enforcement via radar, drone, or helo.

That seems to be the answer @MA2 317: but why are cyclists singled out?

Looks like the sign is directed to motorcyclists, and not bicyclist.

Note the full head helmet of the graphic.

Not too many bicyclists were full helmets.

Must be a curvey, fun road to get some speed and G's from riding a motorcycle.

Apparently three screwed up in the past five years.

Yes I can see that now! Makes sense as there is an inordinate number of motorcyclists here: few wearing protective gear ……

Bicycle is bici in Spanish. Notice it is talking about motoristas.

Riding a bicycle will most likely mean they'd need to speed up to the speed limit, not stay off the speed limit.

Or it could be something else.

They have some helicopters with a radar and also use drones to pick people's infractions while driving, but it's just propaganda.

They appear on the TV flying the drone to strike fear in drivers, and then never fly it again except a week or two each year for special propaganda campaigns.

They don't have enough traffic agents to enforce the rules on secondary roads, so they just put propaganda signs for a 365 effect.

PS: Fun fact, recently a radar equipped copter pilot crash-landed and gave positive on cocaine and anfetamine.

Easy one- Attention motorists- there are helicopters , drones, and cyclists in the area to watch out for.

I would guess it is telling you traffic laws are enforced by helicopter and drone survalance.

But what about the scanning symbol over the motorcycle? I’m leaning to the helicopter and drones enforcing speed limits.
