The Wrong Way Detection System uses video cameras to catch vehicles that are traveling in the wrong direction. If a vehicle is detected, wrong way signs outlined with multiple sets of red lights are activated and begin flashing to alert the driver they are traveling in the wrong direction. The system also alerts the CTDOT Highway Operations Center and local State Police Troop barracks in real-time, allowing staff to monitor the activities of the wrong way driver on the ramp.

To address this growing concern,  I introduced  Public Act 23-51, a bill that would help prevent and reduce wrong-way accidents. The wrong way detection systems are just one part of a significant effort to help keep drivers safe. I am proud of the progress we have made and am excited that more wrong way detection systems are being installed statewide.
