Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You are on the shoulder of a controlled-access highway. May you back along the shoulder to reach a missed entrance?
Correct answer: No; you may not back up on any part of the highway.
Why
Maryland prohibits backing on any shoulder or roadway of a controlled-access highway. An empty shoulder, lookout or hazard lights do not create an exception. Use a lawful forward route instead.
