A white rectangle with a blue border, lettered in blue with 軽車両 and 二輪 for separate lanes.

An emergency vehicle approached on a road with this sign, but I assumed I must stay in my designated lane and did not give way.

この標識のある道路で緊急自動車が近づいてきたが、指定された通行帯から出てはいけないと考え、進路を譲らなかった。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

Wrong. When giving way to an emergency vehicle, or when damage or roadworks block the lane, the law lets you leave the designated lane.
