contents This paper is concerned with one-dimensional 2 x 2 systems of conservation laws with a flux f=f(x, U) that is discontinuous with respect to the spatial variable. No monotonicity assumption is imposed on the mapping x \to f(x,U). We introduce a Kruzhkov-type entropy condition and establish the global existence of entropy solutions for large data. The proof relies on a wave-front tracking approximation. The main technical novelty consists in the introduction of adapted Riemann invariant coordinates, specifically designed to account for the discontinuities of the flux, which yield a uniform-in-time bound on the total variation of the approximate solutions U^n(t). We also outline several alternative approaches that may lead to existence results under possibly weaker assumptions. As an application, we propose second-order vehicular traffic models on inhomogeneous roads featuring abrupt ''collective'' changes in the speed law or road capacity.
