In a recent blog post, the Texas Department of Transportation highlighted the work it has done statewide over the last several years to prevent wrong way roadway crashes.
“Our team has worked hard over the years to implement many countermeasures for wrong way driving, from signage and pavement markings to advanced detection systems,” said Theresa Poer, director of transportation operations for TxDOT’s Fort Worth district – noting that, while wrong-way wrecks make up less than 1 percent of all crashes statewide, they are among the most severe as they often result in head-on collisions.
