Once the light turns green, you may start crossing immediately without checking whether vehicles and streetcars on the left and right have stopped.
信号が青になったら、右左の車や路面電車が止まったかどうかを確かめなくても、すぐに横断を始めてよい。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
Even on a green light, you should confirm that cars and streetcars on both sides have actually stopped before you step out.
Original text
信号が青になつても、右左の車や路面電車が止まつたのを確かめてから横断しましよう。信号の変わりそうなときは、無理をしないで、次の青信号を待ちましよう。
