A mobile device includes an application program that is capable of determining its location and a bearing direction of travel. Further, the application program is associated with a service that operates a back end server that the application program can contact to receive definitions of local geofenced regions, including regions over roadways that indicate the proper bearing direction of traffic for vehicles in those defined regions. The application program monitors the location of the device, which is also the location of a vehicle in which the device is traveling, and compares it with geofenced regions. When the vehicle is within a geofenced region having a traffic direction indication, the application program compares the present bearing direction with that indicated for the geofenced region. Then the comparison indicates the vehicle in the wrong direction, the application program causes the mobile device to emit one or more alerts to indicate to an operator of the vehicle that the vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction for that traffic lane.
