Chapter: Ch. 4 Pre-Drive Conduct
Section: 第４節 乗車と積載
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
On a road with a height restriction sign, if the vehicle body itself is below the height shown on the sign, you may pass even if the total height including loaded cargo exceeds the height shown on the sign.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
A height restriction sign prohibits the passage of vehicles whose total height, including cargo loaded on the vehicle, exceeds the value shown on the sign. You may not pass unless the height including cargo—not just the vehicle body—is below the restriction. Chapter 4, Section 4 of the Rules of the Road (Riding and Loading) states that it prohibits the passage of vehicles higher than the height shown on the sign (including the height of loaded cargo).
