TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, April 20, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that focuses on wrong-way driving. Wrong-way driving has been a problem since the beginning of the interstate highway system but they are much more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries than are other types of highway accidents. This webinar explored recent and ongoing efforts to mitigate wrong-way driving on limited access highways.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Traffic Control Devices. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
