New Zealand Car Driving Test New Zealand Car Driving Parking and Stopping Rules 1

Question 1

In New Zealand, how close to an intersection corner are you prohibited from parking?

Accepted Answer

6 metres

Answer

The New Zealand Road Code prohibits parking within 6 metres of an intersection to ensure other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians have clear sightlines when entering or crossing the junction.

Question 2

What does a solid (unbroken) yellow line painted along the edge of a road in New Zealand indicate?

Accepted Answer

No stopping at any time

Answer

A solid yellow line means no stopping at all — you may not even pause briefly to drop off a passenger. This is stricter than a broken yellow line, which only prohibits parking.

Question 3

When parking on a hill facing downhill with a kerb present, which way should you turn your front wheels in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

Toward the kerb

Answer

Facing downhill with a kerb, you turn your wheels toward the kerb. If the vehicle rolls forward due to brake failure, the kerb will stop it before it can travel into traffic.

Question 4

In New Zealand, how far before a pedestrian crossing are you not permitted to park?

Accepted Answer

6 metres

Answer

You must not park within 6 metres before (on the approaching side of) a pedestrian crossing. This keeps the crossing visible to drivers and unobstructed for people on foot.

Question 5

What does a 'No Stopping' sign mean in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

You may not stop there under any circumstances

Answer

A 'No Stopping' sign is the most restrictive form of parking restriction — you must not stop your vehicle there at all, even momentarily. It differs from 'No Parking', which still allows a brief stop to pick up or drop off.
