Some police suggested we should make a
Portable Traffic Director (PTD) for the
police monitoring our highways.
Research indicated that there is one death
per month of police personnel doing
traffic duty in the USA. Secondary
accidents were the main culprit. So we
put a LED light bar on top of the quad
pod. When the PTD is placed 200 feet
downstream from the scene of an
accident, adequate warning is given to
motorists to move over to the next lane. It
can be stored in the trunk of a cruiser and
deployed within 3 minutes. Police
personnel think that PTD is definitely a
safety device. We are in the process of
selling some of these units to the
Canadian Federal Government. Also, it
can be used by companies, which do
work on our roads.
