What’s up guys, in this post I want to share with you about the unique give way rule in New Zealand. I have travel to NZ before and what I can say is NZ is a wonderful place. It’s very beautiful and clean. During my visit, we have travel to a lot of interesting places such as Queenstown and Rotorua. We travel by car which we rented it from local car rental center.
Queenstown, New Zealand
Then, we have notice something about the way New Zealander drove their car, which after that we ask the local students to explain about it. It’s very important for those that wanted to drive in NZ to know about this. You don’t want to involve in serious crash at the intersections.
The Give Way rules
Giving way means you are giving other road users the chance to use the road before you use it. The rule applies at all intersections where there are no traffic signals, Give Way sign, Stop sign or police officers directing traffic. They also apply for:
- two vehicles are coming towards each other and both are at Stop signs
- two vehicles are coming towards each other and both are at Give Way signs
- Two vehicles are coming towards each other and both have a green traffic signal.
What are the Give Way rules?
- If you are turning at an intersection, give way to all vehicles not turning.
- If you are turning left at an intersection, give way to vehicles coming towards you that are turning right.
- In all other situations, give way to all vehicles coming from your right.
- If you are leaving the path of a marked center line, you are deemed to be turning and must give way to vehicles that are following the center line.
