Speed Limits in New Zealand (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Speed limits in New Zealand range up to and including 100 km/h. Some vehicles are restricted to lower overall speed limits such as trucks and vehicles with trailers (90 km/h), and school buses displaying signs (80 km/h). Signage tends to follow the European model of a number inside a red circle. Sometimes, the open road limit occurs as a black forward slash inside a thin black ring (similar to the UK's National Speed Limit sign). The letters LSZ (Limited Speed Zone) indicate that the limit is 100 km/h unless conditions (visibility, road condition, rain, many other road users) would make this unwise, in which case it is 50 km/h. This type of speed limit can no longer be set since 2003 and is progressively being replaced.
