Both these new rules appear to be giving the same priority as we have in the UK. I'd argue that the T junction one is also logical and consistent. I have to admit, when I drove in NZ I wasn't aware of the right turn rule which is being changed - however my first trip (of 2) was almost 20 years ago, so by the sounds of things it may not have existed then?
