Question 5998
If your vehicle is parked perpendicular to the curb, are you allowed to back up to merge into traffic?
- Yes, as long as you do not enter an intersection.
- No, it is prohibited.
- Yes, up to 25 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as long as you do not enter an intersection.
Yes. Backing out of a perpendicular parking space means backing up to enter traffic, as the blue passenger car in the image is doing. You may travel no more than 15 meters and must not enter an intersection. There is no 25-meter limit.
