From page 40...
... 40 Safety Analysis In this report, researchers documented the results of multiple analyses focused on developing an improved understanding of WWD crash characteristics on divided highways as well as wrong-way countermeasure effectiveness on divided highways and freeways. An in-depth safety analysis of wrongway crashes using a multistate dataset assessed the impact of median width and traffic control devices upon wrong-way crashes on high-speed divided highways.
