Can a car make a U-turn over a crosswalk? According to regulations: motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs and markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger. Therefore, based on the description, the vehicle must pass the crosswalk before making a U-turn. The reason for requiring a car to make a U-turn after crossing the crosswalk is that, in comparison to vehicles, pedestrians are the more vulnerable party. Thus, it is necessary to protect pedestrians while driving. The original intention of requiring a U-turn to be made after crossing the crosswalk is to ensure pedestrian safety and avoid hitting passing pedestrians if the U-turn is made before the crosswalk.
