Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, unless you cannot move forward or make a turn or a U-turn.

Yes, as a general rule, on all roads, not just freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías). It is allowed when you cannot move forward, turn, or make a U-turn, and also as part of another maneuver, such as parking.
