The speed signs are post and very visible. There are 2 roads where the speed limit changes from 50km to 80km and then back to 50km and vice versa on the way back.​
​
​Most people see the sign but are unable to slow down in time.

Coming back from the high speed zone on Hosonville Road the maximum speed is 50km, the roads are wide and it’s all downhill. (Really easy to speed up)

When passing parked vehicle remember to indicate out and then back into your lane.

Narrow roads on side streets will require you to move to the right side of the road when passing parked vehicles.

You must always (if safe): Indicate to the right as you pass the vehicle and indicate to the left to move back to your side of the road.

• Indicated 
  
• Mirror
  
• Shoulder Check
  
• Move
  

Be careful when passing parked cars stay about the width of the door away (1.5m) enough room to react if someone opens there door.

On narrow roads reduce your speed you must have enough time to stop if required.

Drive defensively when passing parked cars.

Also keep an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists.

You are required to Turn Right into several unmarked roads. Don't cut the corners on your right turns, presume there is a vehicle approaching from the other side.

If the road is unmarked and narrow keep reasonable left and be prepared for a vehicle to approach from the opposite side.

Fully Stop at the STOP SIGN check for vehicles on both sides of the road before moving.

Failing to stop will result in your test being terminated.

The signs below warn you that you are coming up to a tight curve or bend in the road. The number recommends a safe and comfortable speed to drive at around the curve – in this example the recommended speed is 35km/h. The arrows show which direction the curve goes.

Note: the recommended speed is for a light vehicle and may be too fast for a heavy vehicle, particularly when laden. Drive carefully and adjust your speed if necessary. If you are carrying a load, reduce your speed on a curve to at least 10km/h below the posted speed shown.

How to use a Flush Median

It’s alright to drive on a flush median for a short distance if you’re turning into or out of a side road or driveway. You can use them to slow down before making a right-hand turn, or to merge left into a gap in the traffic flow.

If you’re using the flush median to make a right-hand turn you should indicate, then steer gently onto the median rather than at an abrupt angle. Use the median as an area to slow down and brake. This way the following traffic doesn’t have to slow down rapidly to avoid you.

Carry out a similar manoeuvre if you’re using the flush median as a refuge before merging into traffic on your left. Remember to indicate and check your mirrors, accelerate, and move gently into a gap in the traffic.

When you’re using a flush median, always remember to watch out for pedestrians, other vehicles using the median and any raised islands.

When doing your restricted test in a rural area like Westgate or Pukekohe, for the high speed zone parts you are required to change lanes. 

When you see a sign saying "Passing Lanes Ahead, Keep Left Unless Passing"

The testing officer will tell you to, "please move into the right lane".

Just like before when ever you see you 2 lanes be prepared to change lanes.

Once you move into the right lane they you ask you to move over into the left lane.

Beware of vehicle that might try to overtake you on the left.
