Night, dawn, and dusk: when wrong-way crashes happen
These crashes cluster hard in specific conditions. That clustering is the reason focused prevention works.
Read →Older drivers and wrong-way risk
Older drivers are overrepresented in fatal wrong-way crashes. The reasons are specific and mostly addressable — and the conversation deserves more care than it usually gets.
Read →The off-ramp problem: where wrong-way entries actually begin
Almost every wrong-way trip starts at one identifiable point. That's the strongest argument for engineering solutions over awareness alone.
Read →What to do if you see a wrong-way driver
The right actions take seconds and are worth knowing before you need them. Read this once and it may be there when it counts.
Read →Impairment and wrong-way driving
Alcohol-impaired drivers are consistently overrepresented in fatal wrong-way crashes. Understanding why points directly at what prevention has to accomplish.
Read →How Arizona's wrong-way detection system actually works
ADOT built one of the country's first large thermal-camera wrong-way detection systems on I-17. Here's what it does and what it has found.
Read →Why wrong-way crashes are so much deadlier than other crashes
It isn't bad luck. It's physics, geometry, and reaction time working together in the worst possible combination.
Read →Wrong-way crashes are rising. Here's what the data shows.
Fatal wrong-way crashes on U.S. divided highways roughly doubled between 2014 and 2023. The numbers are small, the trend is not, and the pattern points at prevention.

Wrong-way crashes are rare, preventable, and disproportionately deadly. Your support funds the technology and awareness work that stops them.
