Prevention of Wrong-way Driving on Freeways

Accidents on freeways often end tragically due to high vehicle speeds. Wrong-way driving is also a main cause of accidents on freeways. This paper presents and discusses research based on analysis of traffic accident data caused by wrong-way driving on freeways, while concurrently considering valid technical specifications for the design of roadway connection and junction elements. The thesis presents possible countermeasures for prevention of wrong-way driving and consequential decreases in the number of traffic accidents. The proposed prevention countermeasures to wrong-way driving on freeways could greatly reduce incorrect vehicle movements and enhance traffic safety on these roads.
