Techniques are described herein for conducting traffic and road operations using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The UAVs can be deployed at various locations and can be operatively connected to a cell site, a mobile edge computing (MEC) server, and/or a V2X sensor. The UAVs, upon detecting an oncoming vehicle from a target location traveling towards one or more autonomous vehicles (AVs), can directly communicate with the one or more AVs to alert the AVs of the approaching oncoming vehicle. If the UAVs cannot communicate with the AVs, the UAVs can handover messages to other UAVs that can communicate with the AVs. The UAVs can also transport messages to a cell site and/or a V2X sensor to broadcast messages to the one or more AVs. Cell sites can also transmit messages to broadcast the messages to the AVs within respective coverage areas.
