Abstract: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 cannot be quantified, they significantly contribute to the increased rates of fatalities and serious injuries for wrong-way crashes. Previous WWD research has included statistical analyses of crash data, multiple countermeasure comparisons, investigations of driver characteristics, and proposed rewording of the MUTCD.
