Is it permitted to reverse on a motorway if you have missed your exit?
U-turns
Explanation
On **motorways and expressways**, it is **prohibited to drive in reverse** under any circumstances. This is because these roads are designed for the fast and safe transit of vehicles, and any maneuver involving reversing can be extremely dangerous for all road users.
- **Reversing** is only allowed in very specific situations, such as when parking or when it is not possible to move forward or change direction, but never on motorways or expressways.
- Additionally, on these roads, **changing direction** is also not allowed unless it is in places specifically designated for it, such as roundabouts or loops.
Therefore, if you miss an exit on a motorway, the correct action is to continue to the next exit and find a safe way to return, rather than attempting to reverse.
