Ford has a new solution that could help prevent wrong way collisions.

According to Car and Driver, the auto-maker has a new driver assisted feature called "wrong way alert."

The technology will allow the vehicle to read "do not enter signs" and alert the driver.

A display flashes a note for the driver to "check driving direction" to avoid danger.

So far, the technology is only available overseas in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

It's still unclear whether the technology can work in the US due to varied road signage.
