The limits on the number of riders and on loading for light vehicles (keisharyo, e.g. bicycles and hand carts) are set uniformly nationwide by government ordinance.

自転車などの軽車両に乗れる人数や積載の制限は、全国一律に政令で決められている。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. For light vehicles, these limits are set by each prefecture's Public Safety Commission when it finds it necessary, not by national government ordinance, so they can differ between prefectures.

Original text

公安委員会は、道路における危険を防止し、その他交通の安全を図るため必要があると認めるときは、軽車両の乗車人員又は積載重量等の制限について定めることができる。
