[1]Determined to reduce accident rates and improve emergency response times, Pennsylvania Turnpike developers installed “the most outstanding system of highway radio communication in the country,” according to Turnpike officials. The two-way radio communication system consisted of equipment located in each of the Turnpike’s 10 ticket offices and police headquarters and made it possible for trucking companies to check on and locate late, lost or stolen trucks in order to expedite freight movement. Twenty-six police patrol cars were outfitted with two-way radios so large it filled the vehicle’s entire trunk.
