Correct answer
On dual carriageways and motorways.
On dual carriageways and motorways, under article 80.3. Elsewhere, the general prohibition has article 80.1’s exceptions: inability to move forward or change direction or travel direction, or a necessary complement to another manoeuvre, over the minimum indispensable distance. When complementing stopping, parking or joining traffic, it must not exceed 15 metres or enter a junction. Reverse slowly, signalling and without danger. Mere proximity to an intersection does not itself establish a general reversing prohibition.
