Show answer
Correct answer
- ANo, ni siquiera en sus proximidades.No, not even near it.
Explanation
As a general rule, U-turns are prohibited wherever overtaking is prohibited, unless expressly authorised by the corresponding sign. Overtaking is prohibited on and near marked pedestrian crossings, so U-turns are also prohibited there. Remember that the no-left-turn sign also prohibits U-turns.
