EMERGENCY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC REGULATION
THE EMERGENCY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC REGULATIONS (EHTR) PROGRAM IS PRESENTED. AN EHTR TRAINING COURSE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. IT IS BASED ON THE EHTR MANUAL. IT IS DESIRABLE TO HOLD 32-HOUR TRAINING CONFERENCES IN EACH OF THE BPR REGIONS DURING THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF. IT IS HOPED THAT THESE CONFERENCES WILL PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 1,000 EHTR INSTRUCTORS. ONE STATE HAS INDICATED THAT THE EHTR TRAINING PROGRAM WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE STATE COLLEGE EXTENSION COURSES. OTHERS INTEND TO MAKE IT A PART OF THE STATE POLICE ACADEMY TRAINING COURSES. THE COST OF TRAINING THESE PEOPLE IS SMALL AGAINST THE SECURITY PROVIDED BY THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A WORKABLE PLAN FOR THE MOVEMENT OF NECESSARY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC UNDER ANY POSSIBLE SET OF ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES. ADEQUATE PARTICIPATION IS RECOMMENDED BY EACH STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT, EACH STATE POLICE ORGANIZATION, AND THE HIGHWAY USERS IN EACH STATE.
