highway police station
A police base for officers responsible for enforcing traffic and other laws on major highways.
A highway police station is a base used for police officers charged with enforcing traffic and other laws on major highways.
The station supports officers whose assigned duties concern major highways. Those duties can include laws other than traffic regulations.
Highway patrol describes the work performed, rather than the governmental level of the force. The station can also belong to a national or regional police organization.
