A sign reading "End" indicates that the traffic restriction shown by the main sign starts at that point.

「終わり」と書かれた標識は、その本標識が示す交通規制がここから始まることを表している。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

The "End" plates (Nos. 77, 78, etc.) mark where the restriction shown by the main sign ends, not where it begins. (Source: Rules of the Road, Appendix Table 3: Types and Meanings of Signs and Markings)
