Drivers who make wrong-way entries onto freeways or other restricted roadways pose a serious risk to the safety of other motorists and themselves. Wrong-way driving often leads to head-on collisions. Wrong-way crashes are relatively infrequent, but they are more likely to produce serious injuries and fatalities compared to other types of freeway crashes. This research involved gathering information on the issues, causes, and consequences of wrong-way movements on freeway facilities in Texas.
