A couple have been caused by some "car pool only lane" freeway entrances which are confusing.
Yes, it's a big problem here. There was a crash that killed some people a few weeks ago that involved a wrong-way driver.

A few months ago, I was getting onto 75 from Cumberland and someone was leaving the freeway through the entrance lane. Cars were swerving to avoid the wrong-way driver. The lady finally pulled off the side of the road and just sat there with this scared look on her face.

I saw it twice when I lived in Orlando. Once involved an elderly woman who was driving down the wrong side on a very busy road. Another incident involved the same type of thing that happened in Atlanta. My friend and I were maybe a few inches away from getting into a head-on collision with a guy that got off the freeway at an entrance lane.

The worst part is that all these incidents happened during daylight! It just reaffirms my belief that there are a lot of truly stupid people in this world.
