Max speed in New Zealand on open road is 100kmh (62mph), small towns which there are plenty 50kmh (31mph). I drove from Christchurch to Invercargill and back recently both trips took 7 hours doing the sign posted speed limit with one stop for fuel and snacks. Didn’t see any police on both trips but advice all travellers to obey New Zealand laws and drive on the left side of the road. In winter months be cautious of snow and black ice.

DO NOT TRAVEL OVER 100KM (62mph) ON OUR ROADS. Please please please who ever made this page don't tell people to drive at 70mph. Our roads are not like your roads, they have narrow, winding blind corners that you're likely to find sheep or tractors hiding around or worse tourists stopped in the middle of the road to take a picture of the mountains. Please take care. Extreme care on our roads and don't exceed the speed limits put in place for your safety and ours

Max speed limit in NZ is 100kmh (60mph). Going to get busted if you are averaging 70 mph
