Wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents and crashes are a serious concern for communities throughout the United States. WWD events typically occur at high travel speeds during low light conditions on roadways with limited horizontal maneuverability. These variables reduce driver reaction times and, in conjunction with other human factor variables that ca

Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) is a specialized asphalt concrete mixture used for thin-wearing courses, offering significant safety, economic, and environmental benefits. The porous structure of OGFC enhances drainage, reduces hydroplaning, and improves road visibility, particularly during wet weather conditions. Despite its potential advantage
