In which exceptional case is it allowed to reverse for a distance exceeding 15 meters?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, reversing maneuvers used for parking, stopping, or entering traffic cannot exceed 15 meters nor invade an intersection. However, the General Traffic Regulations establish an exception: when a vehicle enters a dead-end street and cannot go forward, turn, or make a U-turn. In this 'blocked' situation, it is permitted to reverse the minimum necessary distance to exit, even if it exceeds 15 meters and requires invading an intersection.
