Limited Access Highways (Opposite Direction) can be used only when what condition is met?

• A. Only when the police or highway authority has officially closed the road to all other traffic
• B. When traffic is light
• C. When you have a police escort
• D. When a firefighter is on scene

Answer: (A)

Limited-access highways allow opposite-direction movement only when there is an official closure in place. This means police or the highway authority has blocked the road to all other traffic so responders can move in the opposite direction without conflicting with regular traffic. The reason this is the correct condition is safety and control: without a formal closure, driving the wrong way on a high-speed roadway creates a serious risk of head-on collisions and legal violations. A police escort, light traffic, or a firefighter on the scene does not by itself authorize opposite-direction travel; official closure is the required prerequisite.
