## Notice

Analysis of wrong-way accidents on our network has now been completed. We now need to review ITS measures that can prevent or mitigate the impact of wrong way events to add to the existing toolkit. Opportunities for quick wins where we have instrumented parts of the network will be investigated and scoped (implementation may be through Modernisation and Innovation Designated Fund). This task with look at different aspects of how Highways England can identify, educate, manage and mitigate wrong way driving on the network. In 2016 Transport Focus challenging HE to demonstrate its efforts in the space are proportionate. https://www.transportfocus.org.uk/news-events-media/blog/wrong-way-traffic/. As a result, HE created the 'Wrong Way Driving - Mitigation Tool Kit' (CHE Memo 405) In the last twelve months there have been several high-profile Wrong Way Driving incidents including an incident on the M40 where a car towing a caravan collided with another vehicle resulting in the death of 3 people. As a result, it seems that a week doesn't go by that there is some sort of article in the media relating to Wrong Way Driving.
