Are you allowed to reverse from a minor road onto a major road?

Reversing from a minor road onto a major road is not permitted as it poses significant safety risks. The primary concern is that major roads are designed to handle higher volumes of traffic moving at greater speeds, making it difficult to safely merge or re-enter traffic when reversing. Additionally, vehicles using major roads may not be expecting a vehicle to be maneuvering in reverse, which could lead to dangerous situations, including collisions.

Traffic regulations prioritize the safe flow of vehicles, and reversing onto a major road is deemed too risky due to the unpredictable nature of oncoming traffic. As a result, drivers are advised to always ensure that they enter a major road in a forward motion, ensuring they are visible and can better judge oncoming traffic.
