The State is working toward a safer highway by installing ramps, eliminating at grade crossings etc, maybe someday they will impliment one way spike strips to keep cars from traveling the wrong way on a ramp but thats not likely. The reason there are more wrong way, and accidents in general on US 67 is there are more motorists using the roads than in years past. The community is growing.
