Driving in New Zealand

Most New Zealand roads are two lane and often narrow. Some roads are unsealed and have no surface markings; some also change from sealed to unsealed—look out for road signs that indicate this. If you can, plan your journey to avoid unsealed roads.

Unsealed roads can be dangerous and affect your control of the vehicle. They are often narrow and have gravel verges. Reduce your speed to 40 to 50 kilometres per hour or slower.

Drive in established tracks where the surface is harder if possible but keep left. When approaching an oncoming vehicle slow down to pass. Road dust could obscure your view of the road ahead.

New Zealand in an agricultural country with many farm animals. You may meet sheep or cows being moved by a farmer. Slow down and stop when you meet the animals—let them go past you, or move slowly behind, and take instructions from the farmer. Should you injure a farm animal tell the nearest farmer.
