In New Zealand, how close to an intersection corner are you prohibited from parking?
Answer: 6 metres
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.
What does a solid (unbroken) yellow line painted along the edge of a road in New Zealand indicate?
Answer: No stopping at any time
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.
When parking on a hill facing downhill with a kerb present, which way should you turn your front wheels in New Zealand?
Answer: Toward the kerb
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.
In New Zealand, how far before a pedestrian crossing are you not permitted to park?
Answer: 6 metres
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.
What does a 'No Stopping' sign mean in New Zealand?
Answer: You may not stop there under any circumstances
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.
In New Zealand, within what distance of a bus stop sign are you not permitted to park?
Answer: 6 metres
You must not park within 6 metres of a bus stop sign. This ensures buses can pull in safely and passengers can board and alight without obstruction.
