Traffic Division Patch — Order This Winged Wheel Shield Design
Design S1841A at a glance
A black-merrowed shield in green, gold, black and silver. A winged wheel rides above a star with crossed batons, combining the classic traffic emblem with a badge star. Lettering names the jurisdiction, the traffic division and its founding year. It is a natural pick for motor units and traffic enforcement squads that want a shield distinct from patrol insignia.

About this winged wheel traffic division design
The winged wheel has signaled motor and traffic units for about a century, and this shield pairs it with a badge star and crossed batons so the patch reads as enforcement first. Green and gold give it a traditional highway feel, with black framing the shield and silver lifting the wheel. The layout stacks cleanly, which keeps every element visible on a motor jacket sleeve.
Order it as shown or tailor it: set your division and founding year in the lettering, recolor the green to navy, or replace the star with your department seal. 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 patch questions
Can the star become our department seal?
Yes. Send a photo or file of your seal and we redraw it beneath the winged wheel at no art charge.
Is a PVC version available for motor helmets?
Yes. The same shield molds in PVC, which holds up to weather and wipes clean.
Can the green change to navy?
Yes. Every thread color can change, and the proof shows your palette before production.
What size suits a hi-vis vest?
Most traffic units choose a 3" shield with hook-side velcro for vests and a 4" sew-on for jacket sleeves.
How do I mark up the design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the wheel or the star, retype the lettering and pin notes. Your marked-up shield is attached to the quote.
