After seeing this sign, I went over the railway crossing without stopping just before it.

この標識を見たあと、踏切の直前で一時停止せずに通過した。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. You must stop just before a railway crossing and check that it is safe before going on. This sign gives you advance notice that one is close. Only where the crossing has traffic lights may you go through without stopping.
