As a general rule, reversing is prohibited, except in the following cases on an exceptional basis and always covering the minimum distance strictly necessary:
1. As a complementary manoeuvre for stopping, parking or joining traffic. In this case the reversing distance may not exceed 15 metres nor encroach on a road junction.
2. When it is not possible to move forward or change direction or sense of travel. In this case there is no limit on the reversing distance, and it may even encroach on a road junction if necessary.
The reversing manoeuvre is prohibited on dual carriageways (autovías) and motorways (autopistas).
