A yellow diamond with a black border and a black arrow that rises from the bottom and bends to the right.

This sign legally requires vehicles to slow to a crawl before the bend.

この標識は、曲がり角の手前での徐行を法的に義務づけるものである。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. This warning sign tells you the road bends ahead; it does not legally require you to go slowly. At a bend with poor visibility, however, a separate duty to slow down applies.
