My daughter is studying for a NZ driver's license and shared this gem: "Roads can include any places the public have access to."

To quote her, "they showed me a football field and asked if it was a road and I said no and they said actually legally it is because the public can access it."

A "road" in the Land Transport Act 1998 includes "A place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not".

A screenshot from a study guide for the New Zealand driver's license. It reads as follows. What is a road? You probably think you know what a road is. Well, think again! What is a road? Roads are usually made of asphalt or gravel. Under New Zealand law, the word 'road' can also legally mean beaches, riverbeds, carparks and driveways that are open to the street. Roads can include any places the public have access to. What isn't a road? Private property and fenced-off areas are not roads. For example, a driveway with a gate or a fenced-off playground aren't roads.

13 years ago, a sign was installed at a glacier in #nz, showing changes in the size of the glacier over time. At the end is a photoshopped version, speculating how it will look in 2100.

Want to guess how it looks in 2023 compared to the prediction for 2100?

(see thread for current photo).
