All traffic travels on the left in New Zealand, and many roads are only two lanes. Drivers should exercise extra caution if accustomed to driving on the right.
Cars turning left must yield to oncoming cars turning in the same direction. This is especially important to remember on two-lane roads. Drivers should proceed carefully through intersections and be wary of drivers who may run yellow and red lights. Drivers should use caution to avoid animals when driving in rural areas.
Pedestrians are advised to look carefully in all directions before crossing a street or roadway, and to use crosswalks where provided. Traffic always yields to the right and pedestrians do not have the right of way except at crosswalks.
