Correct answer
Yes, provided that it does not travel more than 15 metres.
On a dead-end street where it is not possible to proceed forwards but it is possible to turn around, traffic regulations do not permit reversing. As a general rule, reversing is prohibited on all roads. The exception applies only on dead-end roads where it is not possible to change direction or turn around. In those specific cases, reversing is permitted for as many metres as necessary, even by entering a junction if essential. In the situation described, since it is possible to turn around, the correct manoeuvre would be to make the permitted turn rather than reverse.
