Land Transport New Zealand (LTNZ) produces the official New Zealand road code and licence guidefor car, motorcycle and heavy vehicle drivers. Auckland City Libraries holds copies of each of the guides for borrowing or using at the library, but there is now also an online version. Lending and reference copies | Online version Lending and reference copies Check with library staff for the availability of printed copies of the road code. Because it is a very popular publication, copies to take home are not always available at your local library. You may need to place a hold or request and wait for a lending copy to become available. For that reason, all of our libraries have printed copies of the road code available for reference only, so that you can read a copy at the library. Ask at the desk.
