Backing up is not allowed on freeways or expressways EXCEPT for

  1. Exiting at the next available ramp

  2. Emergency vehicles

  3. Changing lanes

  4. Making a U-turn

The correct answer is: Emergency vehicles

Backing up on freeways or expressways is generally not allowed due to the high speeds and potential for accidents. However, emergency vehicles are an exception because they may need to back up to clear a path for emergencies or to reach a specific location quickly. It is crucial for drivers to yield and provide space for emergency vehicles whenever necessary.
