Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí. Pero solo una distancia limitada.Yes, but only for a limited distance.
Explanation

Article 80 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) allows reversing when it is not possible to continue forwards, turn or make a U-turn, but always for the shortest distance necessary. The 15-metre limit and the ban on entering a junction apply to reversing as an additional manoeuvre when stopping, parking or joining the traffic.
