Reckless on our roads – NBC Connecticut

New Law for Connecticut

Public Act 23-51 will see the Department of Transportation introduce "wrong-way driver countermeasures" on at least 120 highway exit ramps deemed "high risk." The tech will alert motorists with flashing lights when they are going in the wrong direction, and also notify law enforcement. The legislation directs UConn to begin testing the use of directional rumble strips that alert drivers through vibration and sound when driving the wrong way. A pilot program will also broadcast alerts about a wrong-way driver’s presence on electronic highway message boards.

Wrong-way driving crashes in Connecticut tripled in 2022. This includes 13 wrong-way crashes that resulted in 23 deaths, compared to four wrong-way crashes in 2021 and two in 2020.  Click here for more information.
