On a road with this sign, there was no vehicle ahead of me, so I passed through with hardly any reduction in speed.
この標識のある道路で、前に車がいなかったので、速度をほとんど落とさずに通過した。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
Wrong. Where this sign is posted you must slow to a speed from which you can stop at once. Whether anyone is ahead of you makes no difference.
About this sign
