Are traffic control officers’ vehicles allowed to reverse on a dual carriageway (autovía)?
Right of way
Explanation
Traffic control agent vehicles have certain exceptions to the general traffic rules. Although reversing is prohibited on highways and expressways for most vehicles, emergency vehicles, such as police vehicles, have special permissions.
- These vehicles can perform maneuvers that are normally prohibited, such as changing direction, reversing, and entering the median on highways and expressways, as long as they ensure there is no danger to other vehicles or pedestrians.
- The reason for these exceptions is that emergency vehicles must be able to respond quickly to urgent situations, and for this, they need flexibility in their movements.
Therefore, traffic control agent vehicles can reverse on an expressway under these special conditions.
