According to the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (Dnit), "in view of the impacts caused by heavy rains on the region's road infrastructure, the measure increases the mobility of the population and guarantees a safe and continuous alternative for traveling through Serra das Antas, especially while other road connections remain restricted". Vehicular traffic is free 24 hours a day. However, the Dnit states that the stop and go system may occur during the day at certain points where there is reconstruction work on the highway. Therefore, the driver is advised to respect the signage and instructions of the teams working on the stretch.
