I put together a helpful video that will help you with driving in New Zealand. These were a bunch of areas that I thought were important to pay special attention to. New Zealand is a super beautiful place, but it has extremely windy roads so make sure to be extra careful.

Kiwi here; excellent video, I hope more people watch this video and heed your advice: we want people to come here and have a great time, not end up in an horrendous road crash. Driving in NZ can be a challenge even if it's just being distracted by the scenery ;-) One thing I might point out though is that a white sign with a red circle around it is a speed limit that you must obey. However a yellow sign is an advisory (like windy road ahead), if it has a speed then that is a recommended speed to take the corner that is comfortable, but it's not a limit. Other than that minor nitpick valuable video.

@thegreypenguin5097 2 года назад

Yellow speed limit signs (just like in the US) are ADVISORY, and tell you the recommended speed for the curve for example

@Progamer1LT Год назад

Hey NZer here. Yellow signs are recommended speed signs. Also part way through you have arrows pointing in the wrong direction on the road. Also if you have faster traffic behind you regardless of how fast you are going let it pass you.

@trevtaylor3230 4 года назад

Another Kiwi here, was going to comment on speed signs then read Stuve 715 had already. Pleased you've taken the effort to do this vid, as a truck driver I've seen some amazing horendious driving from visitors to our country, Thanks for posting.

@TKLee-v7c Год назад

Thank you for the great tips, is really helpful for people whom are travelling to new Zealand for a road trips with tips to take note to prevent any misfortune incident. Thanks alot once again!

@KiwikimNZ 11 дней назад

Take care on our roads. I highly recommend placing something on your dash to remind you which side of the road to stay on! I do this when ever I have changed and had to drive and the right hand side of the road when in the US or Europe. Sometimes you can get tired and automatically tgi into the wrong side of the road. Something on the dash does help you to re coordinate yourself. I cut up an arrow on paper and stick it to the dash. The roads are dangerous, sharp corners, sheep or wildlife come from nowhere, steep hills, narrow roads, wind, dangerous conditions such as black ice, sun strike. We have a lot of foreigners get into accidents and sadly die on our roads. Please be careful ❤

@iallso1 Месяц назад

Based on what was shown in the video, you seemed to stick to sealed roads. There are many unsealed roads in New Zealand, many of which have a 100kmph speed limit. Despite the posted limit, it is important to drive to the conditions and the ability of the driver. Often on these rural roads, you come across logging trucks, and they don't always expect to meet oncoming vehicles.

@iallso1 Месяц назад

The NZ road code suggests that if you are holding up following traffic, you should let them past when it is safe to do so.

@klpowell1 3 года назад

Thank you so much for making this video. It's really well done and I'm planning to share it with my community. This video is likely to save lives. Well done.

@worldnomac 3 года назад

If it saves even one life, the time and effort was beyond worth it to put this together. Thank you for sharing it, that means a lot!

@aheat3036 2 года назад

New Zealand needs major investments/improvements in its road infrastructure!… Wider roads with more lanes and much better signage! Considering the fact that railroads are not common in New Zealand and roads are the only way to get around, there should be much more roads with much better designs.

@ajc389 4 года назад

The red and white signs are the legal limit, yellow ones are advisory like this curve is advised to be 60 kph.

@bethbasham4595 Год назад

Super helpful video. Going to see this beautiful area in May!

@denisetewhata8867 3 года назад

Kiwis are use to the windy roads and its usually the locals that speed, and our roads are constantly being maintained, this is New Zealand one tenth of the States

@worldnomac 3 года назад

Indeed! Thanks for your comment

@manudauphin175 11 месяцев назад

Great tips😊 I feel better now. I'm going to drive in NZ in 2 days.

@dnbtravels 4 года назад

Great tips, very useful video

@PS-Straya_M8 3 года назад

Great video and should be shown on all inbound flights to remind people to take care as NZ roads are definitely not typical highways. A recommendation to ALL tourists doing a wine tour , drinking, or over tired is to not drive. We revert to what comes naturally and many tourists unfortunately cross over to the wrong side of the road, several recently with fatal consequences. This is the reason you see arrows painted on the roads including after one way bridges. Happy travels if you are visiting NZ I'm sure you will have a lot of wonderful memories 😁

@worldnomac 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I totally agree, I wish I had more info like this when I went to NZ. Thanks for your comment, this is really helpful for anyone viewing the comments!

Spectacular B-roll matey good one 😊👍and agreed new Zealand looks absolutely amazing! Stay safe though 😊liked for you. Intense indeed

@AgunziLFC 3 года назад

The road construction is because of earthquakes, over the past 10 years we have had a lot of earthquakes, most notably in 2010 and 2011 which devastated Christchurch and the surrounding areas, and Kaikora, we are still rebuilding Christchurch even now. The quakes have petered off but still get one every now and then. Most of the road construction is because of them.

@worldnomac 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing that comment and good to know. Hopefully there will not be as many in the future!

@madpete6438 3 года назад

@@worldnomac The place is full of faults. That is where we get all the volcanos, mountain ranges and fjords from. Earthquakes happen several times a day. No body really pays attention unless its over a 4.5 or 5..... Nice driving by the way - you are one of those people who will be welcome any time.

@robinfox4440 4 месяца назад

Yeah those yellow signs are recommendations for those curves. NZ has a lot of issues around driving and infrastructure is certainly among the issues. Bad drivers is another one but sounds like you had a decent time.

@mckenna8663 Год назад

I noticed that you Mentioned the south island... Does that differ in any way from the north island? I'm this video alone, I'm questioning whether I should Rent a car. I'm a safe driver. But, just like you, I'm from the states; and more specifically, a plain's state. With the scenery as a distraction, I'm getting concerned that my " I'm gonna do it on my own" traveling style might meet it's match in New Zealand.

@brandonthailand2062 Год назад

black and yellow is recommended speed,not the limit.

@Anil-io6yb 5 месяцев назад

I drive a left hand car(just like the US) never driven a right hand car. Worried as I'm going with my kids.Not very confident I can do it. Do you think I should skip renting a car? And book tours instead.

@theowesselson1251 3 года назад

Those yellow road signs are not the legal speed limit, they are a suggestion on what the government thinks is a safe speed to take that corner at

@worldnomac 3 года назад

It makes a lot of sense. It would be great if all tourists were forced to get a short run through on the signs when entering the country. It seems only some rental places do that for some people. Better safe than sorry :)

@DeepThought9999 17 дней назад

Aussie here. Been across the ditch to NZ several times on driving holidays. Also in UK. Driving in NZ (particularly the South Island) is very similar to driving in Scotland so if you can do that, you’ll be fine in NZ.

@worldnomac 3 года назад

It is not as scary as it may seem, the video is meant to make people drive cautiously because the road s are very windy and paying attention is important!!
