Section: 第３節 歩行者の保護など
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
Even when a child is walking alone, there is no obligation to stop or slow down to a stop-ready speed (jokō).

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road 4(1) clearly states: "When a child is walking alone, you must come to a complete stop or slow down to a stop-ready speed to allow them to pass safely." Children may dart out suddenly or have immature judgment, so special protection is required.
