Road signs in New Zealand

  • Stop Sign: This road sign indicates that a vehicle ‘must’ be stopped by the driver at an intersection and should not move till the way is clear. The deed must be done without a miss irrespective of the time of the day or the traffic conditions.
  • Warning Signs: These signs are planted at various places to alert the drivers of a particular hazard that lies ahead on the road. Therefore these warning signs must be obeyed as they will ensure the safety of not only the driver but also the fellow drivers and the workers who might be carrying out the maintenance work. They fall under two categories- yellow signs are permanent whereas orange ones convey cautions against temporary hazards.
  • Information Signs: Information signs convey useful information like the way to the nearest information centre or the distance to the next town etc. Though they all come rectangular, it should be noted that they come in a range of different colours and sizes too.
