As people get older, changes in their physical abilities generally make them walk more slowly, so they need more time to cross a road.

高齢者は年齢とともに体の働きが変わるため、一般的に歩くのが遅くなり、道路を渡るのに時間がかかるようになる。

This statement is TRUE

Explanation

The rulebook states that, although it varies from person to person, older people generally walk more slowly and take longer to cross a road because of age-related physical changes. The statement is therefore correct.
