Is it acceptable to reverse when there's not enough space for a U-turn at an intersection?

If there's insufficient space for a U-turn at an intersection, reversing is permitted as long as U-turns are allowed at that intersection. Safe U-turn methods for vehicles: Check signage and select an appropriate U-turn location; reduce speed in advance; activate the left turn signal; observe oncoming traffic from the opposite direction and check the left rear for overtaking vehicles; if there are vehicles coming straight ahead, slightly tilt the vehicle body and wait; quickly turn the steering wheel to its maximum to make the tightest possible turn; as the front of the vehicle straightens, lightly tap the brakes and swiftly return the steering wheel to the center; once the vehicle is straight, accelerate to proceed. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check mirrors: Always use turn signals and reduce speed when turning or changing lanes; always check the mirrors before turning. Left turns primarily require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Avoid fixating on the immediate front of the vehicle: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the vehicle. 3. Clutch usage: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to press the clutch first; press the clutch when the speed drops to around 20 km/h. 4. Steering: Turn the wheel slowly for high-speed turns and quickly for low-speed turns.
