Why do you see Traffic Officer Vehicles parked on overbridges or observation platforms?
Traffic Officer vehicles are able to use observation platforms, as are the police and VOSA. Using this part of the highways infrastructure or other strategic locations such as overbridges enables our teams to give a physical presence which enhances public reassurance. More importantly, it allows our patrols to be in the place where they can most likely have a positive effect on dealing with incidents.
