Heading West and Through Central Otago
Heading North towards Central Otago (Queenstown, Wanaka etc) or the West Coast (Greymouth, Wesport etc) just take State Highway 6. State Highway 6 is the main street through the city, in the south of the city it's called Clyde Street, in the middle of the city it's known as Dee Street and at the north end it's called North Road. The road is quite wide in most places and there are many places for cars to see you and space to pull over.
