When turning left to leave the road (for example, to enter a parking lot or shop), you must move as close as possible to the left edge of the road beforehand and slow down.
道路外の施設などに入るために左折するときは、その前からできるだけ道路の左端に寄り、徐行しなければならない。
This statement is TRUE
Explanation
Article 25(1) requires two things when you turn left to exit the road: move over to the left edge in advance, and slow down to a speed that lets you stop immediately. Both are duties, not options.
