Answer: When the reverse movement will not remain in the same signaled block

Feedback:
Multiple trains can be traveling in the same authorized direction. Permission is needed to make a reverse outside the same signaled block to allow the dispatcher to stop an opposing train at a location to allow the reverse move to occur. Without this form of protection, the risk increases of a train making a reverse outside the same signaled block colliding with a following or opposing train.
