BDifficulty 1/5

In a dead-end street that is not a motorway or autovía, you cannot proceed forward or change direction or turn around. What reversing distance does the rule permit to leave?

Correct answer

The minimum indispensable distance to leave safely.

The minimum indispensable distance to leave, with necessary precautions and without creating danger. The 15-metre limit and ban on entering a junction apply to reversing as a complement to stopping, parking or joining traffic; they are not the distance limit in this Article 80.1 case. If forward travel, a direction change or turning around is possible, this exception does not apply.
