flag New Zealand proposes new transport rules to improve safety, simplify signage, and support zero-emission vehicles.

flag New Zealand is proposing new transport rules to clarify road usage, including allowing children under 12 to ride bikes on footpaths, requiring drivers to give a 1-1.5 metre passing distance, and mandating yield to buses at stops under 60 km/h. flag E-scooters would be permitted in cycle lanes, and changes aim to simplify signage, reduce regulatory burdens, and support zero-emission vehicles. flag Heavy vehicle rules would be updated to ease permit requirements, expand licence eligibility, and allow overseas licence conversions. flag The public is invited to comment until March 25.
