Giveway rules to change next year
11:30 AM Thursday Sep 1, 2011
Transport Minister Stephen Joyce said the rule change would cut intersection crashes by 7 per cent.
At present, drivers turning left must give way to approaching vehicles turning right. From next year, the right-turning vehicle will have to give way.
A Ministry of Transport spokeswoman said the New Zealand Transport Agency would run a public awareness campaign to educate drivers about the changes.
Other changes include removing a 70kmh speed limit for learner motorcyclists.
