Is it permitted to perform a reverse manoeuvre on an express road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, you are driving in fog on a multi-lane road, with signs D-3 "one-way road" and D-7 "expressway" on the right. You are not allowed to reverse a vehicle on an expressway. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits reversing a vehicle on an expressway, on a motorway, in a tunnel, on a bridge and on a flyover; the Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-7 marks the beginning or continuation of an expressway. On an expressway the speed limit is up to 120 km/h, and drivers do not expect a vehicle reversing in a lane. Sign D-3 only informs you that the roadway is one-way - the ban on reversing itself comes from the fact that this is an expressway. Missing your exit costs you only time - you drive to the next interchange and make a U-turn there.
Legal basis: Art. 23 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 48 para. 1 and § 44 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
