How to recognise New Zealand from the road
Drives on the left
Green hills, sheep and mountains behind almost everything. New Zealand looks like nowhere else, but it helps to know the details.
What to look for
1
Traffic on the left
New Zealand drives on the left.
2
Yellow no-overtaking lines
Centre lines are white, with solid yellow lines where overtaking is not allowed.
3
Ferns and grass
Tree ferns, flax and very green grazing land are common.
4
Single-lane bridges
Rural roads often narrow to single-lane bridges with give-way signs.
