What colour lights and livery do the Traffic Officer Vehicles have? What is the reasoning behind this?
The vehicles have amber, white and rear-red flashing lights on their vehicles and are easily recognisable, as they have yellow and black livery on them. It must be remembered that the Traffic Officer Service is not an emergency service. Traffic Officers are not allowed to exceed the speed limit when responding to an incident however we would ask drivers to allow them to pass if they see them on the highway as it may be the case that they are going to the scene of an incident which may be holding up traffic.
