Country-wide 8
Bollards: red strip wrapping around the top & whole back + thin yellow/white reflector - unique to NZ
Australia's red reflector stops mid-bollard instead of wrapping.
Australia: Wrap-around → NZ.
Plates white w/ black text (mostly white through blur; custom plates can show blue/black edges)
Most common pole: concrete w/ one long indent + small silver possum guards; round wooden & 'holey' concrete poles too
Indented concrete + possum guard = NZ pole signature.
Give-way signs: white border + RED text; give-way triangles painted on the road
Australia: Red text / road triangles → NZ.
Directional/warning signs on white posts; warning = yellow diamonds; blue street signs dominate (esp. rural) - Australia almost never uses blue
Outer lines white (yellow DASHED outer in towns; none on small roads); inner = single dashed white or unbroken double yellow
Australia: Yellow middle → NZ.
Chevrons black-on-yellow w/ a thin black border (AU: same colours, NO border); green direction signs w/ highway number in a red crest; brown signs → landmarks; bridge markers on most paved roads (yellow = river/bridge name)
The bordered chevron + red-crest highway shields are quick NZ locks.
Ferns everywhere in forested areas
Regional 5
2-digit state highways numbered N→S (bollards sometimes show the number); phone = 2-digit area code + 7 digits (02 = mobile); Fonterra farm-sign first digit = region; unique bus stops → Auckland/Wellington/Christchurch; rubbish-bin council logos ID cities (green lids ≈ Christchurch)
Landscape:
Pole metas by region:
More region metas: solid white outers w/o middle → Gisborne (+ N-Hawke's Bay; Wellington = narrower); green-striped bollards → S-Canterbury (+ E-Southland); black-striped bollards → Wellington (old Gen3); fences: tight posts → North Island + N-South Island, wide gaps → South Island + Taranaki, thin metal posts → almost only South Island; short wooden fence-post extensions → Hawke's Bay, long → Southland/Hawke's Bay
Car metas: white-blue front car → mostly North Island (occasionally Canterbury/Marlborough); blurred white-blue-white striped car → South Island + around/north of Auckland
City 1
Town/city street-sign graphics for the north + south (clickable); Wellington = super hilly; Lower/Upper Hutt = wide green SW-NE valley; Blenheim = hill ranges north + south; Christchurch = 2011-earthquake scars (broken roads in 2012 coverage, empty ex-house districts later)
