Is reversing allowed when it forms part of another maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, reversing is prohibited. However, it is allowed as an exception when strictly necessary to perform three specific maneuvers: stopping (parada), parking (estacionamiento), or merging (incorporación) into traffic. In these cases, it is called a 'complementary maneuver' and must meet two fundamental conditions: do not travel more than 15 meters and do not invade an intersection.
