1. A method, comprising:
determining, via one or more sensors on a transport, that the transport is approaching a one-way road in a wrong direction; and
in response to the transport continuing to approach in the wrong direction, slowing the transport, by a computer associated with the transport, to not permit entry into the one-way road based on a determination by the transport of a speed, a position, and a direction of one or more other transports on a collision path with the transport.
