Description
"From 1937 until 1992 the majority of road traffic enforcement and road safety education work in New Zealand was the responsibility of first the Transport Department, and then the Ministry of Transport. For 55 years Traffic Officers from these departments performed sterling service to the motoring public of New Zealand...This book is not a complete history of the Traffic enforcement and Road Safety Education in New Zealand, but rather a pictorial look back at the work and the equipment used by Traffic Officers and Road Traffic Instructors in New Zealand during this period." - introduction.
Photographs sourced from a range of public and private collections showing traffic officers and their equipment, with details on vehicles, personalities, routines, culture and key developments from 1937-1992.
