We're pretty laid back in New Zealand and once you come over the Takaka Hill you'll find we're even more laid back here but there are some rules which help keep us all safe on the roads. We're a rural area so look out for children, animals, horse riders and cyclists on the roads. As well as potholes and shingle roads. We want your journey to be a safe one.
• Hitchhiking is legal and common in Golden Bay, just smile and stick your thumb out. However, it isn’t always easy to reach the more remote locations, so factor in plenty of extra time for your journey, and don’t forget the way back.
• Tākaka Ride Share is a Facebook group with more than 700 members, where you can request a ride to chosen destination, with a preferred date and time.
