At an intersection with a stop sign you must stop just before the intersection, even where there is a stop line.

一時停止の標識がある交差点では、停止線があっても交差点の直前で一時停止しなければならない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. Where there is a stop line you stop just before the line; you stop just before the intersection only when there is none. After stopping, you must not obstruct traffic on the crossing road.
