Question 1

In NZ, when turning right at a traffic-controlled intersection, who must you give way to?

Accepted Answer

Oncoming vehicles going straight through or turning left, and pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into

Answer

When turning right on a green light at a controlled intersection in NZ, you must give way to oncoming vehicles going straight through or turning left, and to pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into.

Question 2

What does a green arrow at a NZ traffic light mean?

Accepted Answer

You may proceed in the direction of the arrow — oncoming traffic is held by a red light

Answer

A green arrow at a NZ traffic light means you may proceed only in the direction shown by the arrow. Oncoming traffic has a red light, so you have a protected turn and do not need to give way to oncoming traffic.

In NZ, what must you do if traffic lights are not working at an intersection?

Accepted Answer

Treat the intersection as an uncontrolled intersection and apply the give-way rules

Answer

Accepted Answer

Pedestrians — drivers must give way to pedestrians on or waiting to cross at a zebra crossing

At a zebra crossing in NZ, pedestrians have the right of way. Drivers must give way to pedestrians who are on the crossing or who are obviously waiting to cross. You must slow down and be ready to stop.

Accepted Answer

Give way to all traffic already on the motorway and merge safely when there is a gap
