In the National Transportation Safety Board's seminal work on wrong-way driving, it observed that during the period from 2004-2009, on average, there were 357 wrong-way driving (WWD) fatalities per year, and these accounted for about 2.8% of all fatal crashes on divided highways. The report also stressed the concerns with alcohol use and the likelihood of the elderly being involved in WWD incidents. In fact, published literature shows that WWD is not new and that field studies were conducted for decades. Most of these studies evaluated the impact of counter-measures, mainly signing and pavement markings, while others interviewed drivers and studied the effectiveness of WWD countermeasures. Some efforts considered technology measures between 45 and 20 years ago. More recent studies focused on statistical characteristics and countermeasures for WWD, while another work, Addressing Wrong-way Driving as a Matter of Policy: The Florida Experience, delved into the likelihood and odds of specific factors leading to wrong-way incidence.
