Question 4554
When backing up, you must not travel more than 15 meters or enter an intersection...
- when it is not possible to continue forward or to turn or make a U-turn.
- on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
- in the complementary maneuvers that require it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: in the complementary maneuvers that require it.
Both limits, a maximum of 15 meters and no entering an intersection, apply when backing up is part of another maneuver, such as stopping, parking, or entering traffic. If you cannot continue forward, turn, or make a U-turn, back up only as far as necessary, even if you exceed 15 meters or cross an intersection. On freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías), there are no limits to apply because backing up is prohibited.
