New Give Way Rules
At 5am on Sunday 25 March 2012, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) advise that the two give-way rules are changing. They are the left-turn versus right-turn rule and the uncontrolled T-intersection rule.
Changing the give-way rules is part of the Government's 'Safer Journeys' strategy to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads. These changes will help reduce confusion on our roads by removing some of the demands currently placed on a driver's decision-making at intersections. This initiative is one of many actions underway to help create a safe road system in New Zealand.

Driving ConditionsThe warmer weather is here, however it pays to remember that we live in an alpine environment and conditions can change at anytime. Always drive prepared and no matter what the weather, keep an eye on your speed and following distances. |
