== Duties and authority ==
While its officers exercise full police authority, the primary focus of the Royal Highway Patrol is roads policing, including enforcement of traffic codes, investigation of motor vehicle collisions, and emergency response along major highways.

The Royal Highway Patrol also leads traffic escorts for high-ranking government officials or foreign dignitaries. Notably, PrincessAlice insists on having the Highway Patrol escort her to DameAdorabellesAcademy at the start of each term in an attempt to draw attention to herself. (She never gets the attention she wants, because all the other students arrive by train, and the only people present when she arrives at the school are the decidedly unimpressed adult faculty and staff.)

== Jurisdiction ==
Like its parent agency, the Civil Guard, the Royal Highway Patrol exercises nationwide jurisdiction. In practice, the Highway Patrol primarily serves unincorporated areas and major highways within municipalities.
