Driving in New
Zealand
Leaving aside the issues
associated with motorways, which are pretty much the same everywhere, there are
a few points to be made on the subject of driving in New Zealand, particularly
on the North Island.
North Island roads were
originally constructed in sympathy with the landscape, or more likely in
capitulation to it. Measure the distance between any two points, and this will
be significantly less than an odometer registers for the actual trip. In some
countries it is possible to find roads that stretch out, straight and dead
flat, to both horizons. Not here. Here it is possible to read the speed warning
for the next corner on exiting the previous one.
Some of the more important
roads widen every now and then to provide an overtaking lane. This feature is
sometimes useful, but as a general rule milk trucks, caravans, tractors and
80kmh speed demons will only be encountered after the extra lane ends. It is
theoretically possible to overtake in other places, but a surprisingly large
number of white crosses on the roadsides are testament to the consequences of
misjudging such a move.
There are sections of road
in which it is possible to achieve the speed limit. The authorities have
identified all of these, and, aside from the corners being a little further
apart, they may be recognised by the presence of signs warning of speed
cameras. These signs are mostly diversionary, the ratio of signposts to camera
units equating to unbackably long tote odds, but speeding through a stretch
which is covered by a camera is best avoided.
A real bonus for UK holiday
makers to New Zealand is that petrol costs the equivalent of about 35p per
litre!
Motor homes homes are
popular and of course particularly suited to those who wish to explore New
Zealand widely.
New Zealand's roads
generally have light traffic away from cities. Most roads are good and well
signed, however there are may roads in remoter unspoiled wilderness areas which
are unsealed gravel. Speed limits are 100kph (~63mph) on main roads and 50kph
(~31mph) in towns.
On motorways, the slower
traffic is encouraged to keep to the left but passing on the left on a laned
motorway is permitted. It is not permitted to hitch-hike or cycle on the side
of the motorways.
Speed cameras, radar guns
and laser speed detection devices are widely used by the Police in traffic
enforcement and drink/driving regulations are strict. The police have a policy
of random roadside checks in all areas especially at night.
