Using heat emitted from a vehicle, thermal cameras monitor the regular flow of traffic. When a vehicle drives in the incorrect direction, signs flash “Wrong Way” – warning a driver to correct their error. NTTA’s Safety Operation Center receives an alert, staffers notify DPS Highway Patrol and overhead message signs warn drivers of a wrong-way driver on the road ahead.
“Safety is NTTA’s number one priority,” said Assistant Executive Director of Infrastructure Elizabeth Mow. “We will monitor this pilot program, assess results, make improvements and determine if it can be used on other NTTA roads.”
