 * Keep - it's already more than a dictionary definition, and can definitely be expanded. --NE2 16:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree wit NE2. Sancho 16:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a bit more than a dicdef, and based on the one reference, this is somewhat of a persistent problem, so the article could probably be expanded. The subject appears to have been studied a few times ( and the reference, plus a ton of news articles), so there are probably enough third-party references to expand this.

 * I would suggest merging this somewhere. It is unnecessary balkanization.  Why does this specific topic need its own article?  Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 21:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You could ask why any topic that you personally thought to be minor, important, or uninteresting "needs its own article". The answer, of course, is that Wikipedia is not written for your convenience as an editor.  It is written for the readers, who want to read and gain knowledge about these topics.  And there is plenty of knowledge on this subject to add to what is currently a stub article, from the Texas study noted above (with additional studies available &mdash; Google Scholar reveals &mdash; from other places including California and Finland, dating back over the past 45 or more years), through how highway engineering aims to reduce wrong-way driving, to insurance and driver qualification considerations, which makes this a stub with potential for expansion into a full article, through the normal process of article development.

 * Yes I can ask that question, and in fact I do ask it, all the time! Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 19:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect, perhaps to Traffic collision? --Tckma (talk) 12:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep (or at least merge) - Notable phenomenon (if it can be justifiably called that). If there's some information, eg. 350 killed each year, it's not a dictionary def (although I'm assuming this was written after nomination). I think it's actually a good "DYK..." thing that.
