Even if there is a road marking just before an intersection prohibiting entry, a standard bicycle may cross that marking and enter the intersection as long as the rider checks that it is safe.

普通自転車は、交差点の直前にその交差点へ入ることを禁止する道路標示があっても、安全を確かめれば標示を越えて交差点に入ってよい。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

Article 63-7(2) of the Road Traffic Act prohibits a standard bicycle from crossing a road marking that bans entry into the intersection. There is no exception allowing entry after checking for safety.
