You see a 'No Stopping' sign. Compared to a 'No Parking' sign, what extra restriction does it impose?
Answer: You cannot even stop briefly to pick up or drop off passengers
No Stopping means you cannot stop at all — not even briefly — whereas No Parking still allows momentary stops for passengers.
When may a driver park on the right-hand side of a one-way street in New Zealand?
Answer: When the street is clearly marked for right-side parking
On a one-way street you may park on the right-hand side only if it is specifically permitted by signs or road markings.
What happens if your vehicle's parking meter expires in a paid parking zone?
Answer: You may be issued a parking infringement notice
An expired meter can result in a parking infringement notice being issued by a parking warden.
Which of the following is an approved use of a Loading Zone?
Answer: Loading or unloading goods for the time shown on the sign
Loading zones are only for the active loading or unloading of goods within the time limit on the sign.
You park your car leaving only 0.5 metres between it and a fire hydrant. Is this legal?
Answer: No, because you must leave at least 1 metre clearance
You must leave at least 1 metre of clearance from a fire hydrant, so 0.5 metres is insufficient.
In New Zealand, at what angle must you park when angle parking is indicated?
Answer: At the angle marked on the road or signs
You must park at the angle indicated by road markings or signs, which can vary by location.
Which sign would indicate you can park in a space for residents only?
Answer: A 'Residents Parking Only' or zone permit sign
Resident-only parking is indicated by a 'Residents Parking Only' sign or a council-issued zone permit sign.
