Driving on Single Track Roads

Very nearly all of the main (class A) roads on Skye and the Mainland are now dual track (i.e. one lane in each direction) allowing proper two-way continuous traffic. The minor (class B & below) roads, however, are in general single track with passing places.

Using single track roads is just a matter of common courtesy plus a little give and take. The golden rules are:

1. When you use a passing place, remember to apply the "drive on the left" rule - even if the road widens on the other side.
2. Use the passing places both to allow oncoming traffic to proceed and to allow faster moving traffic from behind to overtake.

For a little more detail see these notes on the use of single track roads.

Broadford-Elgol Postbus

For many years there was a 'postbus' service from Broadford to Elgol, but Elgol, but as of early 2007 the postal service no longer takes passengers. The same route is however now served by Rapsons. Initially at least they are operating on approximately the same timetable, but it would be best to check at Rapsons for the most up to date situation.
