North Carolina Highway Patrol

Highway Patrol Handbook.

Welcome to the North Carolina Highway Patrol! Founded July 1st, 1929. Our mission is to reduce collisions and make the highways of North Carolina as safe as possible. In addition to enforcing the state’s traffic laws state troopers also guide traffic during hurricane evacuations, re-route traffic around hazardous chemical spills, and they stand ready, should any act of terrorism occur.

Inside this document we will cover the basic rules and regulations that the North Carolina Highway Patrol must follow.
