Single Track Roads

If this is your first visit to Mull it may also be your first encounter with single track roads. They can be a bit daunting at first, but you'll soon get the hang of it if you follow the code. Think of them as very short stretches of twin-track road, and you'll avoid most of the pitfalls.

Passing places occur frequently. Most are marked by a black and white banded pole, although some have the newer diamond shaped reflective sign which is easier to see at night.

Passing Place Code

Keep a look-out well ahead for on-coming traffic and passing-places
Try to anticipate which of you will be first to reach the last passing place between you
If the passing place is on your left, pull into it
If it's on your right, stop opposite.
NEVER pull into a passing place on your right
If the on-coming vehicle stops for you, drive past with care
Use a passing place to let faster vehicles overtake
NEVER park in a Passing Place
