Is reversing in the service area a traffic violation?
1 Answers
Motor vehicles are strictly prohibited from reversing on highways, and since service areas are part of the highway, reversing is also not allowed. If there are monitoring devices at the entrance to capture illegal activities, you will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points. Traffic violations resulting in a 3-point deduction include: 1. Commercial vehicles: Driving passenger vehicles (excluding buses) or school buses with more passengers than the approved capacity but less than 20% over. 2. Vehicle types: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 20%. 3. Trucks: Driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%.
