Like Bernoulli says, I have heard, and been issued with, instructions to 'Make a 180 and backtrack/exit first left/exit at the high speed/etc/etc'. All perfectly clear and have never seen anyone have a problem with it.

I have even seen a Beech 18 make a 180 on the runway at Prestwick after landing without being instructed to. Mind you, it was icy and the thing ground looped unintentionally !!

I suppose you could perhaps ask the pilot to make a Rate 1 turn on the ground for 1 minute ... but not only is it a bit of a mouthfull, it would take ages to clear the strip
