Pedestrians may enter and walk along a cycle track whenever they like, even when the sidewalk is perfectly usable.

歩行者は、歩道が工事などで通れないとき以外でも、自由に自転車道に入って通行してよい。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

Wrong. Pedestrians must not enter a cycle track. The only exception is when road works or a similar obstruction prevents them from using the sidewalk or a sufficiently wide roadside strip.
