A wrong way vehicle detection system may include a warning station positioned along a roadway including a wrong way indication sign, a flashing beacon(s), a forward facing movement sensor facing away from the direction of oncoming traffic, and a rear facing movement sensor. A communications device and a controller may also be included, and the controller may be configured to operate the forward facing sensor to detect a wrong way vehicle on the roadway, and responsive thereto activate the at least one flashing beacon and operate the rear facing movement sensor to detect movement of the wrong way vehicle beyond the at least one warning station. The controller may also be configured to, responsive to detection of the movement of the wrong way vehicle beyond the warning station, send a wrong way vehicle detection alert to an operations center via the communications device.
