What does a 'P' sign with a blue background and wheelchair symbol indicate?

A blue P sign with a wheelchair symbol designates parking reserved for holders of a mobility parking permit.
You are parked legally. A 'No Parking' sign is posted after you arrive. What should you do?
Answer: Move your vehicle immediately
Once a no-parking restriction is in force, you must move your vehicle regardless of when you arrived.
When is it legal to park in front of a driveway in New Zealand?
Answer: Never — it is always illegal
Parking in front of a driveway is always illegal in New Zealand because it blocks vehicle access to the property.
You park on a steep hill with a kerb, facing uphill. Which way do you turn your front wheels?
Answer: Away from the kerb (to the left)
Facing uphill, turn wheels away from the kerb (left); if the brakes fail, the car rolls back and the kerb stops it.
A 'No Stopping' restriction is more severe than a 'No Parking' restriction because:
Answer: You cannot stop at all, not even momentarily
A no-stopping zone means you cannot stop your vehicle for any reason, unlike a no-parking zone where brief stops to pick up or drop off passengers may be permitted.
You are parking in an angle parking bay. Where must the front of your vehicle point?
Answer: Into the bay, toward the kerb
In angle parking you must drive forward into the bay so your front faces the kerb, making exit safer.
How close to the entrance or exit of a service station may you legally park?
Answer: You must not park within 6 metres of the entrance or exit
Parking within 6 metres of a service station entrance or exit is prohibited to keep the access clear.
