[True / False · Easy]

Answer: ✓ True

Explanation

The text states, "On rainy days, the road surface becomes slippery, which increases the stopping distance of vehicles and makes pedestrians more likely to fall, creating danger. Therefore, be careful not to cross recklessly or dash out into traffic." Cautious behavior is required considering the risk of falling.

Hikari

Exactly. Wet pavement is slippery for everyone — cars and pedestrians both need extra caution.
