A system including a computer programmed to determine that a vehicle 10 is traveling in a wrong-way direction. The computer is programmed to actuate an external light of the vehicle 14p or 14d to provide a user-detectable pattern external to the vehicle. The warning may be a change in the light brightness based on the distance to a second vehicle, turning lights on and off in which the rate or change is based on the speed of the vehicle. Further, only a driving headlight 14d or passenger sidelight 14p might be used. The speed of the vehicle may also be limited if it is detected that it is travelling in the wrong direction. GPS may be used to detect that the vehicle is travelling in the wrong direction.
