ADOT Working to Prevent Wrong-Way Driving
The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission says that 23 people died in wrong-way Arizona crashes in 2009, the latest year with available data. These were accidents in which a driver entered a road against traffic or drove on the wrong side of the road.
The Arizona Republic reports that the state Transportation Department is testing new technologies and road markers to combat the problem.
Most of the time the driver realizes the error quickly and disappears before patrol officers arrive, but when accidents occur they tend to be more severe.
The NHTSA says that drunk drivers are at fault in three fourths of all wrong way crashes. The agency also says that wrong way drivers have more traffic violations, felony convictions and other accidents than the average motorist.
