Are you allowed to reverse beyond this information sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are entering a dual carriageway with barriers, with blue signs D-9 "motorway" on both sides. Beyond this sign you must not reverse. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits reversing in a tunnel, on a bridge, on a flyover, on a motorway or on an expressway, and the Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-9 means the start or continuation of a motorway. On a motorway you drive at up to 140 km/h, so a reversing car - for example after missing an exit - is deadly dangerous both for the person reversing and for approaching drivers, who do not expect such an obstacle. If you have missed your exit, you drive to the next interchange; on a motorway, U-turns and stopping outside designated places are also prohibited.
Legal basis: Art. 23 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 48 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
