大家要注意的是CHANGE 2  这条，实际上还是老规矩。其他的基本上是小转弯有优先权。
ROAD RULES ARE CHANGING 5AM SUNDAY 25TH MARCH 2012
The changes to the give-way rules come into effect at 5am on Sunday 25 March 2012. Until then the current give-way rules apply.
These changes will affect all drivers, riders, pedestrians and cyclists in New Zealand.
Are all the give-way rules at intersections changing?
No. Traffic signs and signals are placed at intersections to show road users what they need to do and this will not change. Road users should continue to obey all road signs and signals.
Here is a snapshot of the current give way rules:
1.       If you are at an intersection controlled by a Stop sign, you must stop and give way to all other vehicles.
2.       If you are at an intersection controlled by a Give Way sign, you must give way to all other vehicles except those controlled by a Stop sign.
3.       If you are turning, give way to all vehicles not turning. Note: If the road is marked with a centre line, you are deemed to be turning if you leave the path of the centre line. If you follow the path of the centre line, you are deemed to be not turning.
4.       If you are turning left, give way to vehicles coming towards you that are turning right. (NOTE: THIS IS ONE OF THE RULES THAT WILL CHANGE)
5.       If the rules above do not determine who gives way, give way to vehicles coming from your right.

What give-way rules will be changing at 5am on 25 March 2012?
There are two give-way rules that will be changing..

Change 1: The left-turn versus right-turn rule

From 5am on 25 March 2012, this new rule will require all traffic turning right to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and turning left. This only applies at cross roads, T-intersections and driveways where:
a) both vehicles are facing each other with no signs or signals (neither vehicle is controlled)
b) both vehicles are facing give way signs
c) both vehicles are facing stop signs
d) both vehicles are facing green traffic signals
An example of each situation where the new rule will apply is shown below. In each of the diagrams below the RED car has to give way to the GREEN car:

a) Both vehicles facing each other with no signs or signals (neither vehicle is controlled)


b) Both vehicles facing Give Way signs

c) Both vehicles facing Stop signs

d) Both vehicles facing green traffic signals

Change 2: At uncontrolled T-intersections (‘uncontrolled’ means when there are no signs or signals to tell you what to do)
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, all traffic from a terminating road (bottom of the T) will have to give way to all traffic on a continuing road (top of the T). This will bring it into line with T-intersections where there are Stop or Give Way signs on the terminating road. In the diagram below the RED car has to give way to the GREEN car:

This rule change will also apply to uncontrolled driveways, such as at a supermarket or hospital. From 5am on 25 March 2012 the traffic exiting the driveway will need to give way to all traffic on the road.
All vehicles entering or exiting a driveway must continue to give way to pedestrians on a footpath, or cyclists and pedestrians on a cycle path or shared path. Drivers should not pull out to block the footpath in front of pedestrians and cyclists.
Will there be any changes to the give-way rules at roundabouts?
No. You should continue to give way to vehicles on the roundabout coming from your right.
Public awareness campaign
It’s important that you stick to the current rules until 5am on Sunday 25 March 2012.
An intensive public information campaign is being developed. The campaign will be run in the month leading up to the date of the change on 25 March 2012, with national advertising starting 10 days before the change. This late February start date is necessary to avoid public confusion and minimise the risk of people starting to use the new rules too early.

记得那天以后开车要更小心，一改过来肯定很多老驾驶员不习惯。

谢谢提醒

我晕 相反性的啊 为什么这么改啊，  肯定不少事故发生。

实际上是新西兰现在的交通规则和其他国家都相反的。这次是改回来（很久前的交通规则是这样的，后来被改成现在这样的）。
估计会有不少交通事故。大家开车的时候真的要小心，宁愿给后面的人（不耐烦的）按喇叭，也不要匆忙的按照新规则直接转弯。以防对面车的驾驶员忘记什么是新规则。{:7_365:}

我这里有条路是超级confusing 的，基本上我是左转弯，对面是右转弯，还有一座桥下来的车是right of way。
从来都是对面的车不走（让桥下来的车，或者不知道是右转先走），有的车懂的就走，然后我等对面不走的车走会被滴死。。。

新规则出台这个问题应该可以解决了

看来喇叭会在25号后在街上此起彼落了。热闹呀。

还是改过来方便，从大陆来开了几天车，觉得大部分规则是通用的，唯一需要注意的只是左右反过来而已，只是要改的这两条规则就比较纠结。

比如说，在有丁字路口的主路Continuing往小路Terminating右转的时候，我要让小路出来右转的车，从我对面过来左转的车要让我，但是我要让小路的车，停下了，小路右转的车看到情况有点复杂，不敢走了，主路对面左转的车看我不动，也不敢动了。。。这时候要再碰到主路上有直行的，就更热闹了。

其实我刚开车的那几天，有好几次是按新规则(也就是全球通用规则)走的，因为我觉得主路右转就让一边，小路右转要让两边，当然是我走先比较的合理。结果gf每次都告诉我刚才你过去的时候那个车里面的人非常的不爽噢，我说是嘛可能是被太阳晒的吧。。。查了查交规，才发现。。。

内疚啊

现在很多老人开车已经反映很慢了！再一改他们就会成为100%马路杀手了！
这面一些老人家开车很恐怖！
