12 Feb 10 -- NZ, Road Signs

Driving on the left was a challenge for the first day or two. First thing that comes to mind - cars have the accelerator and brake peddle in the accustom place on the right side of the car but the turn signal and windshield wiper controls are on the other side of the steering column, did that make any sense! When you see the windshield wipers come on when the driver is making a turn, they're from the U.S.

I found the road signs that are different from ours in the U.S. to be interesting so started to snap pictures.





Lots of one-way bridges in NZ. The large white arrow meant we had the right-of-way.







Have yet to figure out why the roundabout sign doesn't go all the way around. It's not a dead end.






Saw as many as three concealed driveway indicators on one sign.



Our sign says SLOW and their's says GO. They take it litererlly and go into their many twisty turns at a very fast clip.




Pullouts are called bays.




Cleaning up after the sheep. :-)



Don't think I've ever seen this in the U.S.




Same as a Black Hole!!




Now that's a skid.
















Motorcyclists would love this in the U.S. however, this is in kilometers.






Just thought these two were interesting. We seldom see Queue or Goods.
