Mass. has installed nearly 90 wrong-way detection cameras. Hundreds more are coming, officials say.
State officials said they have installed 86 wrong-way driving detection systems since announcing the effort in June. Roughly 300 will be rolled out by the end of 2027 under the $75 million project. Massachusetts state officials have installed nearly 90 wrong-way detection cameras and have promised hundreds more by next year. This comes after the death of State Trooper Kevin Trainor in May and a series of fatal wrong-Way crashes in the state. The state has installed 86 wrong-wing detection systems since June, with about 40 more expected by the end of the year. Each detection system costs roughly $15,000. The systems have logged 215 instances of drivers heading the wrong way, with roughly 60 percent of these drivers quickly turning around. The $75 million project includes adding enhanced lighting and reflector strips, directional pavement markings, and flashing light and sound warnings to roads prone to wrong-ways. The data from the detection cameras will be used to assess whether confusing intersections should be reworked.
