Last Monday was our first rainy day, so we took the chance to see Nelson's art gallery and museum, and better explore downtown (all 4 or 5 blocks of it). There is hardly any traffic here, but we have to keep our wits about us when we cross the road. In Seattle, you are likely to get stuck behind 2 drivers who are both trying to yield to the other, and cars stop in the middle of the street if they even suspect that I want to cross. Although New Zealanders are extraordinarily polite, when behind the wheel they get a strong urge to run over any pedestrians in their path. We're also still getting used to the cars being on the left hand side of the road.
In London they write which way to look first on the road - I'm guessing Nelson doesn't get enough tourists for that?
