Is there another word besides "pass" that more accurately specifies the act of two vehicles going past each other in opposite directions, as opposed to overtaking a vehicle going the same direction?

I want to be able unambiguously to explain right-of-way to bicyclists who insist I move to the far edge when I'm walking against the traffic.

    If you want to unambiguously explain your right of way to bicyclists, just do what Dustin Hoffman did in Midnight Cowboy: slam your hand on the front of their vehicle and yell, "Hey! I'm walkin' here!"

You are referring to the act of passing oncoming traffic.

  • The bicyclist shall pass oncoming traffic on the far right.
  • The car almost hit oncoming traffic by moving too close to the center line.
