#### 第２章 歩_第11節 _10 [MC, hard]

**Question:** Which of the following statements about remotely operated small vehicles is incorrect?
**Options:**
  A. Before operating on a road, confirm that a mark is displayed in a visible location
  B. Notify the Public Safety Commission one week before starting operation
  C. In principle, the same rules as vehicles apply
  D. The remote control device must be operated reliably
**Correct:** C. In principle, the same rules as vehicles apply
**Explanation:** Remotely operated small vehicles (e.g. delivery robots that travel along roads without a human aboard) follow pedestrian rules in principle (Rules of the Road Ch.2 §11 2(1)). Option 3 says "the same rules as vehicles" — but they follow pedestrian rules, so option 3 is the wrong statement (the "incorrect" one the question asks for). The trap is intuitively treating them like vehicles because they are machines.

### 第4節 踏切の通り方

#### ch2_trap_05 [T/F, medium]

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

**Driving school curriculum:** Stage 1 – Topic 6: Intersections and railroad crossings
**Source:** 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.

### 第2節 歩行者などの通るところ

#### ch2_trap_06 [T/F, medium]

**Question:** On a road with no sidewalk or sufficiently wide roadside strip, pedestrians must always walk on the right edge of the road.
**Correct:** False
**Explanation:** According to the Rules of the Road, on a road with no sidewalk or sufficiently wide roadside strip, pedestrians must in principle walk on the right edge of the road. However, as an exception, if walking on the right edge would result in repeated crossings and be more dangerous, pedestrians may walk on the left edge.
**Driving school curriculum:** Stage 1 – Topic 8: Protection of pedestrians
**Source:** Rules of the Road, Ch.2 §2 (Where pedestrians walk) — Pedestrians use the sidewalk; where there is no sidewalk, walk on the right edge of the road (against traffic). On pedestrian roads, motor vehicles are prohibited except where specifically permitted.
