There's some single-lane Swiss mountain roads, with occasional passing spots. There's a specific rule in the Swiss driving code that the car going up has priority, so the car driving down gets to reverse to the closest passing spot - presumably reversing upwards is less scary, as guardrails may or may not be present...
But then there's the extra rule that on some roads if you meet a "car postal" (bus service run by the Post Office) it gets to decide what you do :)
- hkmurakami 10y agoInteresting. I think that's the same rule in hiking as well.
- Stratoscope 10y agoSame uphill/downhill rule here in California. Besides being less scary to go uphill in reverse, you're a lot less likely to get stuck.
