What are the speed limits in New Zealand?

New Zealand's speed limits prioritize safety. Here are the general speed limits for different road/vehicle types:

• Heavy vehicles often limited to 90 km/h in 100 km/h zones, considering traffic, road, and weather conditions.
• School zones mandate a reduced speed of 40 km/h when flashing signs are present.
• Specific speed limits, like 50 km/h or 70 km/h, are indicated by various signs, with variability in certain areas.

Adhering to these limits is essential for safety and road compliance. Caution and speed adjustment are crucial on curves, following recommended speeds, especially for heavy vehicles. Variable speed zones near beaches or rivers change based on pedestrian presence. Safety should be a priority; excessive speeds, especially around corners, must be avoided. Pay attention to posted limits, adjusting speed accordingly, and contributing to safer road conditions.
