Ch. 6 · 第1節 踏切

Within 10 meters before and after the edge of a railroad crossing, you must not stop even for loading or unloading cargo.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: True

Explanation

Within 10 meters before and after the edge of a railroad crossing, stopping and parking are prohibited regardless of the reason. Brief stopping for loading or unloading cargo or for boarding and alighting of passengers is not permitted. This is an important regulation to prevent accidents near railroad crossings (Road Traffic Act Article 44, Paragraph 1, Item 4; Rules of the Road, Chapter 5, Section 8). Note that this is a different distance from the 5 meters before and after crosswalks.
