Pd Ob Wrong-way driving still problem RICHMOND Wrong-way driving on Virginia's major highways continues to be a serious problem, according to a report from the State Department of Highways and Transportation. In the six months from June 1-November 30, 1979, 47 inwrong-way driving were reported on the state's interstate and divided primary systems-13 less than in the comparable period in 1978. Seventeen of the incidents resulted in accidents in which four persons were killed and 10 were injured.

"While there is some indication that the number of reported incidents is dropping, the problem remains serious," said J. P. Mills the department's traffic and safety engineer. In the past nine years, 130 persons were killed in wrongway driving accidents and 435 were injured, according to the report. During the same period, 1,219 wrong-way driving incidents on the state's divided highways were reported by state police who assisted in compiling the report.

During the June-November 1979 period, 36 percent of the reported incidents resulted in accidents. Twenty-five of the reported 47 incidents 0C- curred during darkness, and 18 of the drivers were drunk or had been drinking, according to the report. Eighteen of the accidents took place when vehicles entered the wrong-way at interstate interchanges or at intersections on the primary roads. U-turns on the interstate were involved in six of the accidents. Other accidents resulted from wrongway driving at commercial entrances and crossovers.

The department has installed arrows, Do No Enter and Wrong Way signs at numerous locations. Mills said that work will be continued in an effort to further reduce the incidence of wrong-way driving. Federal and state spending in cooperative efforts to eradicate brucellosis, a disease of cattle, amounted to $105 million in 1978.
