Ch. 1 · 第2節 信号

While traveling through a section with a "slippery" warning sign, the road surface was not actually wet, so you ignored the sign and drove at normal speed, but since warning signs have no penalty provisions, this is not a violation.

[True / False · Hard]

Answer: False

Explanation

Warning signs themselves have no direct penalty provisions, but if you ignore the hazard indicated by the sign and cause an accident, you may be charged with violations such as failure to exercise safe driving practices. Furthermore, warning signs give advance notice of hazards, and even if the road surface is not wet at that moment, they indicate locations that become slippery in rainy or freezing conditions. The idea that "you can ignore it because there's no penalty" is incorrect.
