Driving Safely

Driving in the Western Isles is a popular option, with visitors bringing their own vehicles or taking advantage of Outer Hebrides car hire providers on Lewis, Harris, Benbecula, South Uist or Barra on arrival.

Larger villages, towns and townships are connected by a selection of well-surfaced A class roads, while in more rural areas drivers can expect B class roads, designed for single traffic with regular passing places.

Here is some helpful guidance from our council Comhairle nan Eilean Siar about DRIVING SAFELY IN THE OUTER HEBRIDES.

We urge you to take time to read this guidance to keep you and our communities safe.

VisitScotland have also pulled together this very helpful DRIVING IN SCOTLAND video and Struthach Films have produced a great wee video HOW TO DRIVE ON SINGLE TRACK ROADS take a look here:
