The authorities in Uzbekistan have reportedly revised regulations concerning road signs that warn motorists about speed control devices operating across the country's transport network. Under a newly adopted governmental decree, the strict mandate to install preliminary warning signs indicating the presence of speed cameras has been officially restricted to stationary units only, effectively exempting mobile speed-tracking devices from the previous requirement.

According to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 596, amendments were made to earlier regulations that had set comprehensive notification rules. The previous framework, introduced in May 2025, made it compulsory to place the 'Radar' road sign 250 to 500 meters ahead of any zone utilizing stationary or mobile speed measurement systems. However, the updated legislative text specifically replaced the broader phrase encompassing all types of devices with a narrow focus solely on stationary equipment, raising questions about transparency in traffic enforcement.

Consequently, mobile speed enforcement units no longer fall under the mandatory signposting requirement, meaning drivers may no longer receive standardized advance notice before encountering such temporary checkpoints. Corresponding changes were also applied to traffic regulations governing the 5.43 'Radar' sign to align with the updated scope. Observers suggest that while the regulatory shift aims to streamline monitoring protocols, it could potentially spark discontent among motorists who face unpredictable enforcement tactics.
