Reversing into a no-entry zone to access the parking area

1. no. you lazy

2. I highly doubt that this is legal. It’s a one way street. Not a one way forward and both ways in reverse street.

   Besides: reversing for longer distances isn’t allowed, when another manoeuvre can be done instead. That’s clearly the case here. You could just drive around and enter the one way as it’s ment to be.

3. The article states “*the driver* ***won’t reverse*** *unless to park his vehicle”.* I highly doubt reversing 20m to reach a parking spot be considered “*to park his vehicle”.*

   It is also forbidden to go in reverse on long distances if it can be done otherwise. In your case there’s no justification to reverse.

4. Why should you be allowed to turn right into the one way street?

5. … you won your drivers licence in the lottery didn’t you?

   It’s a one-way street. You’re only allowed to drive into one direction. It’s not the direction you’re driving in when you reverse to the parking spaces.

   -> You’re obviously not allowed to do that

6. That is driving against the allowed direction. You only may stop beneath a parking lot or the next car, to navigate into the lot backwards. Your kind of movement causes you to get a fine!

7. Its not lesgel. You are drving agains the direction of the traffic.

8. This can’t be serious. It must be fakery just to create engagement (not saying I never did it tho).

9. My driving instructor 20 years ago told me that this is the way to do it, particularly in one-way streets.

   But wasn’t there something recently about reversing in general not being allowed anymore unless maneuvering, or at least strongly discouraged in general?

10. Nope, you are meant to go around, that’s not legal.

11. Unexpected Bellinzona

12. Is everyone just coming from the exam? Probably not legal but if no one is coming just do it.
    You probably drive like 20 or something.

13. It’s the direction you’re moving that counts, not whether you’re in R gear.

14. But why wouldnt you just drive around normally?

15. No, definitely not.

    One, you enter the one-way street in the wrong direction.

    Two, you’re driving on the wrong side turning right or coming back from the right. Avoidable, but do you?

    Three, entering a crossroads backwards is simply too risky even if it’s a quiet street.

    And four, reversing for a u-turn is banned unless this is the only way forward. Which isn’t the case because you can simply turn right.

16. If you want to get ice cream from gelateria veneta you csn just walk to it, taking the car and figuring out workarounds for the law is too complicated

17. lol i know the place, just go around 🤣

18. Obviously you cannot do that, but also if you dont change the lane before reversing, youre already going the wrong way (car has to be in the same lane as if you were driving forward). Imagine youre turning into the side street and some jackass is driving on the left lane and exiting the side street from the left lane for no reason (youre the jackass except even worse since youre reversing and wont react to an incoming car as fast)

19. Sorry, not legal. The only way you are allowed to reverse is for parking reasons and hitching a trailer.
    My driving instructor told me, if I reverse a car Length or less, I’m safe. If you reverse way too much and the wrong person sees me (Bünzli, old people or police), i could get in trouble/discussions.
    If you do this in Zürich, Lucerne, Bern, etc., you could get a ticket very fast. 😐
    But my grandpa always told me: “No plaintiff, no judge”.

    As long as you can’t hurt/hobble/obstruct anyone or endanger someone, I don’t see a problem.

20. Forbidden? Yes. Will you be caught? Most likely not if you check for police before you do it.
