WWD-MX
Connected Wrong-Way Driving Signs
Prevent wrong-way collisions before they happen
The WWD-MX system is a cost-effective, comprehensive, and configurable solution for preventing collisions. Typically installed at or near freeway exit ramps—the primary origin of wrong-way events—WWD-MX is a “smart module” design. It can be configured with LED-enhanced signs or beacons to alert wrong-way drivers and encourage self-correction. Multiple signs can be installed along a ramp to help get drivers’ attention before they enter the main roadway. Adding optional radar to a unit further enhances safety; when the radar unit detects a wrong-way vehicle, the system activates the LEDs to warn the driver of their error while triggering actionable email and text alerts to MX Cloud™.
The WWD-MX system monitors highway ramps 24 hours daily for wrong-way vehicles without interfering with other traffic detection systems.
Free out-of-the-box connectivity
WWD-MX systems have connectivity embedded into their design, making installation easy. From the moment a system receives power, it is ‘online’ and accessible both locally via the MX Field App™ and remotely via our web-based software, MX Cloud™.
Timely and actionable alerts
Cities can enable email and text alerts to notify of wrong-way events or other issues like knockdowns or dead batteries.
Comprehensive asset visibility and data collection
System statuses are available at any time in MX Cloud. Users log in to view their systems in a map or list view, bringing together numerous geographically dispersed assets in a single, centralized location. The GPS map provides visibility and enables streamlined, proactive asset management and future planning.
Top 3 reasons to choose the WWD-MX wrong-way detection and warning system:
- Every system includes three years of FREE remote connectivity with MX Cloud™
- Modular design makes for faster installation and better, richer system data
- MX Field App™ is free forever and provides easy local access to system programs and settings

MX Flasher Modules
The WWD-MX system can be configured with MX Beacon or MX LED Sign modules. All Carmanah MX series flasher modules meet MUTCD Standard (2A.12) for flashing beacons and LED-enhanced signage. MX Beacon Modules are available in 12” (305 mm) or 8” (203) mm) diameter sizes. MX Sign Modules (R5-1a Wrong Way and R5-1 Do Not Enter) are standard 42” signs.

MX LED Sign Module – Do Not Enter
MX LED Sign Module – Wrong Way Driving
MX Flasher Module Mounting
MX flasher modules can be mounted in a variety of configurations (others available):
Single Beacon – Integrated
Dual Beacon – Vertical
Dual Beacon – Horizontal
Optional: MX Single Zone Radar Unit
Adding optional radar to a unit further enhances safety; when the radar unit detects a wrong-way vehicle, the system activates the LEDs to warn the driver of their error while triggering actionable email and text alerts to MX Cloud™.
Single Zone Radar
MX Power Modules
Four MX Power Module options—available in both solar and AC power—allow MX Series systems to operate reliably in any location. Compact, integrated solar and battery systems can be mounted to a variety of square and round poles and installed quickly. Cabinet-based systems come in compact and standard cabinet sizes, can be powered by solar or AC, and can accommodate additional third-party devices.
