Is it permitted to make a U-turn at a marked pedestrian crossing?
U-turns
Explanation
The **change of direction** of travel is prohibited in certain places for safety reasons. One of these places is at **marked pedestrian crossings**. This is because making a change of direction at a pedestrian crossing can endanger pedestrians who are crossing, as the vehicle could interfere with their safe passage.
Furthermore, the change of direction must be carried out in such a way that it does not force other drivers to reduce their speed or become a danger to them. At a pedestrian crossing, pedestrians always have the right of way, and any maneuver that interferes with their passage is prohibited.
Therefore, changing the direction of travel at a marked pedestrian crossing is not only dangerous but also explicitly prohibited by traffic regulations.
