On a road that is neither a Spanish autopista nor autovía, a closure prevents forward travel and you cannot turn or make a U-turn. If safe, may you reverse out?

Correct answer

Yes, covering the minimum distance strictly necessary.

Yes, for the minimum necessary distance, under articles 80 and 81. The 15-metre limit and prohibition on entering an intersection apply to reversing as a complement to stopping, parking or joining traffic, rather than this case. Reversing is prohibited on Spanish autopistas and autovías. Signal it, reverse slowly and stop or abandon it if safety requires.
