Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
Even if there is no diagonal crossing permitted marking at an intersection, pedestrians may cross diagonally along the diagonal line if the signal is green.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that diagonal crossing is permitted only when there is a marking indicating that diagonal crossing is allowed. At intersections without such markings, pedestrians must cross at right angles along the crosswalk, even if the signal is green. The diagonal crossing permitted marking is a type of indication marking and is installed only at specific locations.
