BDifficulty 1/5

May a vehicle used by officers responsible for traffic control reverse on a motorway when service needs require it?

Correct answer

Yes, when service requires it and with necessary precautions.

Yes, in performing their duties and with necessary precautions. Article 68.1 permits those officers to use or position their vehicles on the part of the road needed to provide assistance or meet service or traffic needs. This does not authorise ordinary drivers or manoeuvres unrelated to service. The general Article 80 rule prohibits reversing on motorways.
