DRIVE WITH EXTRA CARE
Red Means ‘Wrong’
On State Freeways
AUSTIN — Red mean*
WRONG.
That is, red means wrong on
Texas freeways. The Texas
Highway Department has in-
stalled red reflectors on many
Interstate and other controlled
access highways to warn driv-
ers that they are going the
wrong way.
A broken red line of reflect-
ors indicates to the driver that
he is traveling the wrong way
on the freeway. A red arrow
pointing at the driver from the
pavement as he begins to enter
a freeway ramp indicates that
he is entering the wrong way.
These reflectors, in extens-
ive use for about a year, arc
made of acrylic plastic — red
on one side and white on the
other. A driver going in the
right direction sees the white
side. A wrong-way driver sees
the red. So red means "wrong
way.”
Thousands of these markers
have been installed on such
high-volume traffic highways as

Installation of the markers is
the Highway Department's se-
cond major innovation within
the year to minimize wrong-
way movements on freeways.
Earlier the Department be-
gan supplementing its “Do Not
Enter” signs along freeways
with “Do Not Enter Ramp”
signs and "One Way” signs.
The reflective pavement mar-
kers are an effort to cut wrong-
way accidents even more.
The lane lines in most cases
are limited to metropolitan
areas where there are high vo-
lumes of traffic. The reflective
markers are placed at 40-foot
intervals with 15-foot lines of
white non-reflective button mar-
kers centered in between.
The arrows are placed on ex-
it ramps to two-way frontage-
roads. exit ramps that have

try, and exit ramps where the

Show Boom in Texas i Housekeeper a Fortune
Eighty-seven new miles of
Interstate highways were com-!
pleted to full freeway standards
during the second quarter of
1967, the Texas Highway De-
partment reported today.
On July 1, a total of 1,615
miles was complete to full In-
terstate standards. This com-
pares with 1,528 miles under
design of the connection with
the cross street or highway is
such that traffic may have an
easy access to the exit ramp
for wrong-way movement.
A big advantage of these mar-
kers over paint or other devic-
es, says a Highway Depart-
ment spokesman, is that they
are just as good when wet as
when dry. This means that the
reflectors can be seen during
rainstorms.
“The Texas Highway Depart-
ment is concerned about wrong-
way accidents on our free-
ways,’ explained State High-
way Engineer D. C. Greer. "We
hope these new markers will
help by warning motorists that
