The Passing Place Guide

A simple guide to keeping Skye moving.

Pull in on the left

When you see a passing place, pull in and give way to oncoming traffic.

Wait on the right

Let the other vehicle pass, then continue when it’s clear.

Wave thanks

A friendly wave goes a long way. One raised hand is sufficient. Five separate waves is excessive.
