Chapter: Ch. 2 Pedestrian Conduct
Section: 第８節 身体の不自由な人の安全
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
People who are blind may carry a white or yellow cane or walk with a guide dog, but this is not necessarily an obligation.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road stipulates that people who are blind or have visual impairments "must walk" with these aids as an obligation. On the other hand, for people with physical disabilities who have difficulty walking, it states they "may walk" with these aids, making it optional. The requirements differ depending on the category of person.
