WOW, 4th - am well pleased with this. My first shot for this challenge also used a 'Passing Place' sign (we have 100's on the Island) that was next to an old Cemetry and decided to re-shoot after the Graveyard Challenge was announced as I thought it might affect voting?
This was shot at the top of our drive and just 100 yards from where a delivery Van left the road earlier in the year - trying to squeeze past a car rather than use the 'Passing Place'.
Regards the Title, some got the humour of Rush Hour on a quite road (this is our Main Road!). But it does get busy, I was there for almost an hour and must have shot 20 cars before I was happy.

The sign and scenery told me it was Scotland. But where? I even thought it might be on my 'own' Isle of Skye. But Mull is a good alternative, maybe even one of the most beautiful islands of Scotland.
Great image, I really like the movement of the car and this curved movement and the similar curves in clouds and road really makes this a strong image. Congrats on the HM!
Great capture. The juxtaposition between the so low impact sign "PASSING PLACE" and dramatically blurred automobile are what make the image work for me - and provide some sociologic commentary.
Well coordinated - the sign, the wonderful blur, the title. Sky's a little dark for me - not in the ominous sense but in the processing sense. Maybe my imagination.
Rather unusual juxtaposition of elements - rush hour with only one car in a very rural setting, sharp image with blurry car (nice capture, with semi-transparent vehicle). Lower angle. For me, the image is technically good, but there are too many messages and they are disjointed.
