Abstract:

Even though wrong way driving (WWD) crashes on ; controlled-access highways are infrequent (less than ; 1 percent of all traffic crashes in Texas), they result in ; severe injuries and fatalities, and continue to occur ; despite more than 50 years of research and ; countermeasure implementation. Questions ; remained about which countermeasures actually ; catch the attention of wrong way drivers and are ; effective at getting them to self-correct before ; reaching the main lanes, especially those drivers that ; are driving under the influence of alcohol. In addition, ; recent implementations of WWD countermeasures ; and mitigation methods in several locations in Texas ; provided the opportunity to assess the effectiveness ; of these tools in actual operational environments. ; The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) ; also posts wrong way driver warning messages on ; dynamic message signs (DMSs); however, no ; guidance existed about the design of these types of ; messages
