In New Zealand, the posted speed limit is often too high for the road. If you drive the speed limit, YOU WILL CRASH AND DIE - frequently taking another car with you.
This is because:
1) Very few divided highways
2) Blanket speed limit of 100kph on open roads
3) Fun road obstacles - hairpin turns, single lane bridges, blind corners and no shoulder drops down cliffs.
- sbalea 12y agoWow, I was thinking just that. It's the only place i've seen posting a 100km/h limit on a narrow, barely two lane winding road, hugging a cliff. It was almost like a dare. The speed I felt safe at was no more than 50 km/h
