Abstract

The problem, it seems, is that certain drivers enter freeways via one-way exit ramps and leave them on the equally one-way entrance ramps. The result has been a number of accidents, some fatal. This study showed, among other things, that 38.2 percent of the wrong-way drivers had been drinking. Of the category of users who ran the freeway regularly, no less than 53 percent of the wrong-way drivers had been drinking.
