MOBILE TRAFFIC SECTION

Hume Highway Group  H.H.G.
In December 1972, to meet the traffic needs of the Hume Highway, especially the increase in traffic during the
holiday period commencing just prior
to Christmas, a special Mobile Traffic
Section group was established with
responsibility for dealing with the
traffic problems occurring on the
Hume Highway. This, the busiest
highway of our State, poses special
problems and has been a cause of
considerable concern to the Force
administration. The results achieved by
this group, and the effect of the
employment of special multi-coloured

"Candy Cars", will be watched with
great interest; not least because the
performance of the Hume Highway
group will provide us with guidance
when considering the needs of other
major highways in this State.
