On a dead-end street where it is possible to make a U-turn, is it allowed to exit by reversing?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No. As a general rule, driving in reverse is prohibited on all roads. There are only two exceptions: 1) As a maneuver complementary to stopping, parking, or entering traffic (maximum 15 meters without entering an intersection). 2) When it is impossible to move forward, change direction, or make a U-turn. In this specific case, the question states that a U-turn is possible. Therefore, the exception of 'impossibility to maneuver' does not apply, and the driver is required to turn around to exit driving forward; driving in reverse is prohibited.
