Question 7282

To park, how many meters may you back up?

  1. As long as you do not enter an intersection, as many as necessary.
  2. As many as necessary, with no limit, on an urban road.
  3. The minimum necessary, and no more than 15 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The minimum necessary, and no more than 15 meters.

To park, back up only as far as necessary and no more than 15 meters, like the red passenger car in the image backing up alongside the sidewalk. That limit also applies on urban roads, and staying out of intersections is an additional condition that applies along with the 15-meter limit.
