We show that for any cellular automaton (CA) ℤ²-action Φ on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with values in a finite set A, determined by an automaton rule $F = F_{[l,r]}$, l,r ∈ ℤ, l ≤ r, and any Φ-invariant Borel probability measure, the directional entropy $h_{v⃗}(Φ)$, v⃗= (x,y) ∈ ℝ², is bounded above by $max(|z_{l}|,|z_{r}|) log #A$ if $z_{l}z_{r} ≥ 0$ and by $|z_{r} - z_{l}|$ in the opposite case, where $z_{l} = x + ly$, $z_{r} = x + ry$.
We also show that in the class of permutative CA-actions the bounds are attained if the measure considered is uniform Bernoulli.
