Answer: The speed limit is the number shown
A red circle containing a black number indicates the maximum speed limit in km/h for that section of road. All drivers must not exceed this speed limit under any circumstances.
What does a white rectangular sign with black diagonal lines (like a railway crossing warning) mean?
Answer: A level crossing is ahead
A sign with diagonal black and white stripes (also called a level crossing sign) warns drivers that a railway level crossing is ahead. Drivers must be prepared to stop for trains.
What does a green rectangular sign on a NZ highway typically provide?
Answer: Distance and direction to destinations
Green rectangular signs on NZ highways are informational signs that provide distances and directions to nearby towns, cities, or destinations. They help drivers navigate to their destination.
What does a double solid yellow centre line mean for drivers on both sides?
Answer: Neither driver may cross to overtake
Double solid yellow centre lines mean that neither driver on either side of the line may cross it to overtake. This marking is used on roads where overtaking is considered too dangerous in both directions.
What does a 'NO STOPPING' yellow line marked at the edge of the road mean?
Answer: You must not stop your vehicle in that area at any time
A yellow 'NO STOPPING' line at the road edge means you must not stop your vehicle at any time in that area, even briefly. This is more restrictive than a no-parking zone.
