Passing is about as meaningless as explained here.

Intended ACTION --- PASSING, along with intended SIDE --- RIGHT or LEFT
I try to make my action as clear as possible with --- Passing on your LEFT or Passing on your RIGHT. On your Left is meaningless.
I have bells on my bikes and ring especially when a dog is being walked. Usually the dog hears the bell before the walker and reacts then followed by owner/walker. My actions are taken whether the individual is facing me or not.
- When passing other bikers or people on the street, always pass to their left side, and call out "On your left!" so they know that you are coming.

Pass others on their left. Say "on your left" to warn others that you are passing.
