Establishes the "Alexander Whalen Safe Highways Act", which requires the department of transportation to implement wrong-way vehicle detection systems

HB 1387, the "Alexander Whalen Safe Highways Act," requires the state transportation department to install wrong-way vehicle detection systems (WWVDS) at high-risk highway interchanges by March 1, 2026. These systems use radar, thermal cameras, LED-enhanced warning signs, and real-time alerts to detect wrong-way drivers and automatically notify emergency responders. The bill prioritizes installation at specific high-risk locations, including the intersection of westbound I-64 and Jefferson Avenue, and mandates integration with digital highway signs to warn other drivers. It also requires the department to conduct an educational campaign and submit annual reports to the legislature on system implementation, effectiveness, and costs starting in 2027.
