All major roads in New Zealand should have regular ‘keep left’ signs in multiple languages, says the car buyers’ Dog & Lemon Guide.

Editor Clive Matthew-Wilson says: “Tourists regularly have serious accidents because they get confused over which side of the road to drive on. The obvious thing to do is to remind them regularly in their native language.”

Matthew-Wilson says the signs should be placed every few kilometres and should also encourage drivers to let faster vehicles pass.
