Description
Represents a system that senses a wrong–way driver and then activates the flashing beacons near static Wrong Way signs on an exit ramp.

ODOT is testing the system as part of a pilot program, with the first system installed on the West 28th Street exit ramp on the Shoreway just west of downtown Cleveland.
