Spikes for Anthony is a family-led roadway safety initiative created in memory of Anthony Allen and dedicated to advancing evidence-informed approaches to wrong-way driving prevention in Texas.
Our work combines crash-data research, public education, transportation-safety advocacy, and collaboration with policymakers, transportation professionals, researchers, law enforcement, families, and communities.

To honor Anthony Allen's memory, we engage in road safety advocacy by promoting the implementation of advanced safety technologies and physical measures that prevent wrong-way driving, ultimately saving lives and making our roads safer for everyone through initiatives like Spikes for Anthony.

A future where communities, transportation agencies, policymakers, law enforcement, researchers, and families work together to identify wrong-way driving concerns, implement appropriate countermeasures, evaluate results, and reduce the number of families experiencing preventable loss on our roadways.

Thank you for signing the petition for road safety advocacy! Together, we can address the critical issue of wrong way driving by advocating for the installation of safety spikes and technologies to protect our roads. With your support, we have gathered 1,530 signatures for the initiative, 'Spikes for Anthony'!
