About
The purpose of this project is to install wrong way vehicle detection systems (WWVDS) on interstate off-ramps to notify drivers, traffic emergency responders, and law enforcement of a wrong way driving activity. The goal of this project is to enhance safety for the travelling public by deterring and minimizing accidents due to wrong way driving. This technology will be implemented at SR 421, Volusia County and Old Dixie Hwy, Flagler County. The WWVDS initiative supports the FDOT’s commitment to achieving zero fatalities and serious injuries on the State Highway System.
