Max speed in New Zealand on open road is 100kmh (62mph), small towns which there are plenty 50kmh (31mph). I drove from Christchurch to Invercargill and back recently both trips took 7 hours doing the sign posted speed limit with one stop for fuel and snacks. Didn’t see any police on both trips but advice all travellers to obey New Zealand laws and drive on the left side of the road. In winter months be cautious of snow and black ice.

Max speed limit in NZ is 100kmh (60mph). Going to get busted if you are averaging 70 mph
