Establishes the Alexander Whalen Safe Highways Act to implement wrong-way vehicle detection systems on Missouri highways.
The Alexander Whalen Safe Highways Act mandates the Missouri Department of Transportation to install wrong-way vehicle detection systems (WWVDS) by March 1, 2027. These systems will include enhanced visibility signs and real-time alerts. The department must prioritize installations at high-risk interchanges, such as the intersection of westbound Interstate 64 and Jefferson Avenue, and other locations identified through traffic data analysis. The act also requires the department to evaluate the systems' effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility of notifying emergency responders.
