This study addresses the issue of wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents at partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange terminals in the United States. These incidents are a safety concern, often attributed to geometric design features and inadequate traffic control devices (TCDs). While previous research has acknowledged the significance of parclo interchanges as common initial entry points for WWD crashes, few studies have comprehensively quantified the impact of TCDs and design features on recurring WWD incidents.
