Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. You must not back up on freeways (autopistas) or high-capacity divided highways (autovías), even for just a few meters or if you see no danger. If you miss an exit, like the one on the right in the image, continue to the next one or to a designated place where you can make a U-turn.
