On a road with this sign, entering an intersection with poor visibility, I did not slow down but checked that it was safe and went on.
この標識がある道路を走っていて、見通しのきかない交差点に入るとき、徐行はせずに安全を確かめて進んだ。
This statement is TRUE
Explanation
True. Travel on a priority road is excepted from the duty to slow down. Even so, the crossing traffic may not stop, so you still have to check.
