HEAD ON COLLISIONS.. ON DIVIDED HIGHWAY??

Not one, but two, head on collisions on the same N.Y. highway...

on the same day!

(Of course, condolences go out to those who lost loved ones.)

Generally, this happens when stretches of the road are not divided.

When the driver approaches a divided section, it seems that signs

that scream out, "WRONG WAY" are not always enough to get the

driver to do the right thing. Whether the driver is sleepy, drunk,

distracted, dyslexic or anti-authoritarian, it seems that something

more needs to be done to protect our lives.

SUGGESTION:

Strategically placed "rumble strips" could alert the wrong-way

driver that something is amiss.

Drivers who are headed the proper direction may also benefit,

as they will be reminded to reduce speed.
