• Abstract:
  Although relatively rare, wrong-way crashes are usually more severe and could be fatal. The majority of these crashes occur when a driver uses an exit ramp to enter a controlled access highway. Impaired driving is often a contributing factor, but age-related perceptual and cognitive declines put older drivers at greater risk as well.
