Highway Patrol Unit Patch — Order This Overpass and Police Shield Design
Design S1136A at a glance
A custom-cut patch edged in black merrowing, with a highway lane running toward the viewer and passing beneath an overpass while a black police shield anchors the composition. The lettering lines carry the unit name and a division label, and every word restitches to yours. White, red, black and grey keep it reading like road signage: clean, high-contrast and easy to pick out from the shoulder of a busy road.

About this highway overpass patrol design
Most traffic-unit patches lean on wings or wheels; this one shows the actual workplace, a stretch of highway diving under an overpass. Setting a black police shield against that road scene ties enforcement to the roadway itself. The palette borrows from pavement and signage, with white lane lines, red accents and black and grey tones that stay sharp on a reflective vest or a dark duty shirt.
Order it as drawn or rework it: put your agency and unit name in the lettering, place your own badge inside the shield, or shift the road palette to tan and OD green for a subdued set. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Highway patrol unit patch questions
Can our badge go inside the black police shield?
Yes. Send a photo or scan of your badge and we redraw it stitch-ready inside the shield at no art charge. Your proof shows it placed against the road scene.
Can the overpass be changed to a bridge we patrol?
Yes. A photo of the bridge or interchange is enough. We redraw it into the scene and keep the highway perspective so the layout still reads.
Will the lane lines hold up on a small patch?
At 3.5 inches and up they stay crisp. For smaller cap or chest sizes we thin the road detail on your proof so the stitching stays clean.
Is there a subdued version for vests?
Yes. The design embroiders in grey and black with the red accents removed, and it pairs well with hook-side velcro for reflective vests and carriers.
How do I mark up my changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the shield or the overpass, pin notes on each lettering line and try other colorways. Your marked version travels with the quote.
