Chapter: Ch. 2 Pedestrian Conduct
Section: 第4節 踏切の通り方

## Question
The warning bell was not ringing, so I judged it was safe and crossed the railroad crossing without stopping.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
According to the Rules of the Road, you must always stop before a railroad crossing and check for safety on both sides. Even when the warning bell is not ringing, the equipment may be malfunctioning, so you must always confirm safety before crossing.

## Source passage (Rules of the Road)
Rules of the Road, Ch.2 §4 (At railroad crossings) — Stop at the stop position, confirm safety by sight and sound, and cross only when no train is coming. Never start crossing when the warning bell is ringing or the gate is closed/closing.
