As a complementary maneuver for parking, what is the maximum distance you are allowed to reverse?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, driving in reverse is prohibited on public roads. However, there is an exception: reversing is allowed as a complementary maneuver to stop, park, or enter traffic. In these cases, the General Traffic Regulations impose two mandatory restrictions: the distance traveled backward must be the minimum necessary and never exceed 15 meters, and furthermore, invading a junction (intersection) is not permitted. Therefore, 15 meters is the absolute legal limit for this maneuver.
