Correct answer
Yes, if necessary to avoid forcing oncoming vehicles to stop.
R-5 prohibits entering the narrowing if you cannot pass through without forcing oncoming traffic to stop. Give way and stop when necessary; it does not require stopping every time when there is no conflict. It is not a rollover danger warning or a grant of priority to the driver facing it.
