Driving the wrong way on a one way road

[MELISSAB]

Hopefully no one else has experienced this, I couldn't find it in search, so I thought I'd share. A couple of days ago a road that has been getting reconstructed and one way only for a few years now was switched back to two way traffic. I was happily driving along listening to talk radio when I hear a calm voice making a statement with a red round symbol with a line through it showing on the dash. Took me a moment to realize what was going on. I thought signs that display in the cluster like speed limits, school crossing, etc. were being picked up by the cameras but now I know they are map based. The gentle voice says "Entry to wrong way detected. Check driving direction" every 5 seconds or so. It was barely audible over the radio. I would think if they were going to put in that feature they'd make it stand out a bit more, but it may help someone actually going the wrong way some day. TMYK

You can see and hear it here if you tilt your head to the side.

I am glad everything turned out okay.

Check your settings. You can set the warning volume.

As Deb in Bailey notes, you can adjust that warning volume. I have one stretch of road near my house that occasionally triggers it (think the mapping is slightly off) and then if I'm going through a construction zone where they route you into the oncoming lane of a divided highway, it will trigger.
Nice safety feature; a little unsettling the first time you hear it, but if stops one person from driving the wrong way down a highway or something, I'd say totally worth it.

I posted about it almost three years ago

Interesting safety feature

The other evening, I was pulling out of driveway and turning left onto a highway. I was connect by Bluetooth but wasn't using navigation nor any other features. I hesitate to call this a divided highway, but the chicken lane (center turn lane) is wide enough for two normal traffic lanes. So I...
