Question 7280

Is it allowed to enter an intersection while backing up in order to merge into traffic?

  1. No, it is prohibited.
  2. Yes, in all cases.
  3. Yes, provided you do not travel more than 15 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.

No. When backing up to enter traffic, two limits apply at the same time: a maximum of 15 meters and no entering an intersection, so traveling a short distance does not allow you to enter one. In the image, the white truck is backing up within an intersection with its backup light on.
