Chapter: Ch. 5 Driving Method
Section: 第４節 安全な速度と車間距離
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
At intersections where visibility to the left and right is limited, you must always slow down to a stop-ready speed (jokō) even when traffic is controlled by traffic lights.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that when passing through an intersection where visibility to the left and right is limited, you must slow down to a stop-ready speed, but this does not apply when traffic is controlled by traffic lights or when traveling on a priority road. Therefore, slowing down is not required when traffic lights are present.
