Those roads are so American-looking, I'd probably forget to drive on the left side! Do the variable speed limit signs actually flash, or is that something to do with the camera?
Interestingly, freeways look pretty similar the world over!
A roadgeek can tell the difference! That said, New Zealand freeway signage is remarkably similar to MUTCD signage - definitely some inspiration from the US there!
Well, I can see differences from state to state, each one has their nuances.
But in general, when I see freeways on the other side of the world, whether it is Chile, Australia, Algeria, etc., I see similar design characteristics.
Right drive versus left drive doesn't really change the basic design of the freeway.
I guess you're not a sign geek. The point is that, because of NZ's signage patterns, one could easily mistake themselves for driving in the states (especially when near
a right exit). They basically copied the MUTCD for their guide signs, and literally the only differences between their freeways and ours are the lack of yellow strips for the inner shoulder, use of metric, and that they drive on the left. That it. Nothing else. They even use route number/direction for navigation rather than control cities, which is not as common as one would think. Australia doesn't. Nowhere is Europe does. Mexico doesn't. South Africa doesn't. Israel doesn't. The UAE does not appear to. The only country I could find that does outside of the US, Canada, and New Zealand is South Korea.
