A procession carrying flags or banners and making a show of force counts as one that must keep to the right-hand edge of the roadway, regardless of how many people take part.

旗やのぼりを持って気勢を張る行列は、人数に関係なく、車道の右側端に寄って通行しなければならない行列に当たる。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. For processions carrying flags or banners and making a show of force, the rule expressly excludes those with fewer than 100 people. So the number of participants does matter. (Source: Order for Enforcement of the Road Traffic Act, Article 7)
