About this winged highway and lightning bolt design
Traffic enforcement is about roads and speed, and this patch says both in a single image: a highway given wings, with a lightning bolt for the rapid response that crash scenes demand. The custom-cut outline breaks away from a standard shield, so it stands out on a motor officer's sleeve. The royal blue, silver, white and gold palette keeps it in classic patrol colors.
Customize it for your unit: change the agency name, retitle the division to Motor Unit or Crash Reconstruction, or redraw the road to carry your highway marker. 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.

Traffic division lightning bolt patch questions
Can the division line read Motor Unit instead?
Yes. All three lettering fields restitch — agency, patrol line and division callout — to your exact wording.
Can the road carry our route marker or unit number?
Yes. We can add a route marker, unit number or emblem to the highway and show it on your proof at no art charge.
Will the custom-cut outline fray?
No. The silver merrowed border wraps the outline and seals it. Very sharp points are cut with a heat-sealed edge instead, which we flag on your proof.
Can we order a velcro version for traffic vests?
Yes. Hook-side velcro fits the loop panels on most traffic vests, and you can split one order between velcro and sew-on.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the wings or bolt, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote.
