Southern Motorway, SH 1, south of Auckland. Other than being on the left,
it looks very similar to freeways in the United States. The Botts Dots lane
markers, Jersey curb in the center, and center-mounted green guide signs
are all the same. As New Zealand is all-metric, distances are in kilometers.
The red shields indicate primary State [national] Highways. The white
shields indicate secondary routes.
A diagramatic sign. Rainbow's End
is a theme park.
More motorway signs, including an exit number and a pull-through sign.
Some signs had brackets for exit number but no tabs, so it looks like they
were in the middle of adding them.
Service Centre sign. The service symbols are a bit different than in the
US. The script letter i
indicates a tourist information center, uh, centre.
Once out of the Auckland metro area, SH 1 goes down to 2 lanes.
No Passing zones look the same as in North America.
Passing zones, however, use the dashed white line that was phased out in the
US in the early 1970s.
A "suicide lane" center passing lane, which may be used by either
side.
