Question 4891

Are you allowed to back up on a freeway?

  1. Yes, if it is within a built-up area.
  2. Yes, if it does not obstruct other road users.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. You must not back up on freeways (autopistas) or high-capacity divided highways (autovías) even if you do not obstruct anyone, because traffic moves very fast there. It makes no difference if that section runs through a built-up area.
