When drivers see a 'Wrong Way' sign:

They must not leave the pavement except in an emergency.
They are going the wrong way on an expressway exit ramp.
They must drive past this sign and reach the next intersection.
They must stop immediately.
Explanation

If drivers see a white-on-red WRONG WAY sign, it means they are entering an expressway ramp from the wrong direction. They must pull over immediately and not continue past the sign. Interchanges can be confusing, so if you find yourself going the wrong way on an entrance or exit ramp, turn around as soon as it is safe to do so. The WRONG WAY sign is typically placed a short distance beyond the DO NOT ENTER sign on expressway ramps to help alert drivers before they accidentally drive into oncoming traffic.
