When crossing a sidewalk to enter or leave a facility off the road, slowing down is enough and you do not need to stop.
道路外の施設に出入りするため歩道を横切るときは、徐行すれば一時停止しなくてもよい。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
Article 17(2) requires a complete stop just before entering the sidewalk, and you must not obstruct pedestrians. Merely slowing down is not sufficient.
Original text
前項ただし書の場合において、車両は、歩道等に入る直前で一時停止し、かつ、歩行者の通行を妨げないようにしなければならない。
