Drive on the Left

Traveler

Left side driving is the rule in New Zealand. We follow the British road rules. If you come from Europe, America, or one of those nations where your cars are left-hand drive and you drive on the right side, then a bit of practice may be of help, although driving is all the same and you will cope quickly.

Stay Alert for Animals

Traveler

In rural New Zealand, you may come across cattle crossing the road in big numbers. Please be cautious while driving in rural areas. There are no wild animals in New Zealand.

Know the Sign Boards

Traveler

Keep an eye on Sign Boards. A few bridges in New Zealand are single way and you would be expected to let the vehicles from the opposite side pass first. One-lane roads have a warning sign board indicating if you have the right of way or not. A circular sign with red border with “give way” underneath, means the other vehicles have the right of way. A blue square sign with white arrow pointing forward and a red one pointing back, indicates that you have the right of way.

Analyze the Weather
