Abstract: The paper proves that any asymptotically shearfree congruence at the conformal infinity (scri) in a (2,2)-signature spacetime is determined locally by a solution to the pair of forced inviscid Burgers' equations L_u+LL_x={sigma}(u,x,y,L) and M_u+MM_y={sigma}'(u,x,y,M) where u,x,y are Bondi coordinates of scri. The functions {sigma} and {sigma}' are determined naturally by the projective structure on the {alpha} and {�eta} surfaces that foliate scri.
