New Zealand Car Driving Test Parking Rules and Restrictions 5

Question 1

You see a 'No Stopping' sign. Compared to a 'No Parking' sign, what extra restriction does it impose?

Accepted Answer

You cannot even stop briefly to pick up or drop off passengers

Answer

No Stopping means you cannot stop at all — not even briefly — whereas No Parking still allows momentary stops for passengers.

Question 2

When may a driver park on the right-hand side of a one-way street in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

When the street is clearly marked for right-side parking

Answer

On a one-way street you may park on the right-hand side only if it is specifically permitted by signs or road markings.

Question 3

What happens if your vehicle's parking meter expires in a paid parking zone?

Accepted Answer

You may be issued a parking infringement notice

Answer

An expired meter can result in a parking infringement notice being issued by a parking warden.

Question 4

Which of the following is an approved use of a Loading Zone?

Accepted Answer

Loading or unloading goods for the time shown on the sign

Answer

Loading zones are only for the active loading or unloading of goods within the time limit on the sign.

Question 5

You park your car leaving only 0.5 metres between it and a fire hydrant. Is this legal?

Accepted Answer

No, because you must leave at least 1 metre clearance

Answer

You must leave at least 1 metre of clearance from a fire hydrant, so 0.5 metres is insufficient.
