Roads offer two lanes and are well surfaced and signposted.
Large cities provide four-lane highways.
Bus and taxi services operate for convenience when travelling within city limits. Bus stops are located everywhere, with timetables and seats and taxis arrive at your door within minutes of contact. Wellington and Christchurch offer scenic tram rides, which circulate throughout both cities. We recommend the use of automatic transmission vehicles for those travellers unfamiliar with NZ road conditions. Wearing seat belts is mandatory and young children must be in a child car restraint.
