Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations are strict: reversing is prohibited on all public roads. Driving backwards is considered a dangerous maneuver against the natural flow of traffic. However, the law allows it exceptionally when necessary as a complement to other specific maneuvers: Stopping. Parking. Incorporating into traffic. This is only valid if it is not possible to move forward or change direction, covering a minimum distance (maximum 15 meters) and without invading intersections. Note: On motorways and dual carriageways, it is always prohibited, with no exceptions for maneuvers.
