Construction started on this project in September, according to FDOT.
The second set of signs will be installed in the Spring of 2021 at the I-4 off-ramps at S.R. 472, Orange Camp Road, and S.R. 44, according to FDOT.
A sign will be able to detect when a wrong-way driver hits the road and lights on wrong-way signs will flash to let the driver know they are not going in the right direction.
If the driver keeps going in the wrong direction, detectors will notify investigators.
The Regional Transportation Management Center system will also broadcast a wrong-way driver alert on electronic messaging boards on the interstate to warn other drivers.
