Correct answer

  • ANo, ni siquiera en las cercanías.No, not even near it.
Explanation

U-turns are prohibited wherever overtaking is prohibited (Article 79.1 of the General Traffic Regulations), and overtaking is prohibited at marked pedestrian crossings and near them (Article 87.1.b). That is why you may not make a U-turn near the crossing either.
