Question 7295
Regarding backing up, which answer is correct?
- As a maneuver complementary to a stop, backing up must not exceed 10 meters.
- It is prohibited to back up through an intersection as a maneuver complementary to parking.
- It is allowed to back up on a high-capacity divided highway if doing so does not endanger other drivers.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is prohibited to back up through an intersection as a maneuver complementary to parking.
If you back up to park, you must not enter an intersection, even if you travel only a few meters. In the image, the blue passenger car is backing up within an intersection with its backup light on. When backing up as part of a stop, the limit is 15 meters, and you must not back up on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) even if you see no danger.
