Is It Permissible to Reverse a Vehicle at a Pedestrian Crosswalk?

Recently, I parked my car in the area of Dragon Bridge, on Tran Hung Dao Street in Da Nang. During the process of retrieving my car, I reversed it across the pedestrian line, and the urban enforcement officers requested and reminded me, even leading to a loud exchange between both sides. However, I am not aware, according to regulations, am I allowed to reverse or not?

Based on Clause 2, Article 16 of the 2008 Law on Road Traffic, the regulations are as follows:

Backing up a vehicle is not allowed in areas where stopping is prohibited, on pedestrian crosswalks, at intersections, at same-level crossings with railways, where visibility is obstructed, in tunnels, and on expressways.

Therefore, in your case, reversing the vehicle is not permitted on the pedestrian crosswalk as per the aforementioned regulations.

Sincerely!
