Book Description
Senate bill 233 (Davis 1987) required a current study on the wrong-way problem on freeways. This report discusses solutions developed over the years to prevent wrong-way driving by Caltrans, results of recent camera surveillance studies and the current annual wrong-way monitoring program. To determine if other states had developed any new solutions to the problem, traffic engineers from all the states were surveyed. The recommendations to prevent wrong-way accidents are in the areas of sign maintenance, annual accident monitoring using a check-list process, ramp and intersection design, and reducing drunk drivers. It also recommends the purchase of new still camera, video, or movie camera and detector equipment, and continuing the pavement light experiment in San Diego.

Book Description
A wrong-way car stop device was installed on the East Ponce de Leon Avenue exit ramp from I-285 southbound near Atlanta. The device installed is a spring mounted collapsing curb that will collapse when hit by exiting vehicles but will obstruct entering vehicles. This device was evaluated, the wrong-way entry problem in the Atlanta area was assessed and the state-of-the-art in wrong-way entry preventatives was surveyed. Time- lapse video taping was used to observe the wrong-way car stop device. During 17 nights of taping a total of 6 wrong-way movements were observed, and one of these proceeded past the device and out of view of the camera. Findings of the research are that further steps should be taken to reduce wrong-way entries; that ramp signing and marking should be periodically inspected and maintained; and that the device is sufficiently durable and should be considered where less expensive methods of preventing wrong-way entries are not effective.
