A red downward-pointing triangle with a thin white line just inside its edge and the white characters 止まれ (tomare) in the middle.

At an intersection with this sign, I stopped completely and waited for a gap in the crossing traffic before moving off.

この標識のある交差点で一時停止し、交差する道路の車が途切れるのを待ってから発進した。

This statement is TRUE

Explanation

This is correct. Stopping alone is not enough — you move off only when you will not obstruct traffic on the crossing road.
