It was in the year 1954 that these little “catwalk vehicles” were first used as police patrol cars in Holland, which is located beneath the Hudson River. Before, they had police officers patrolling on foot to manage any issues with traffic. As a result of its popularity, they decided to release three more in the Lincoln Tunnel in 1960.
These motors, which have the appearance of humorous toys, are capable of reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and are powered by an eight-horsepower engine. These vehicles were in service until 2011, during which time they assisted in making the jobs of hundreds of law enforcement personnel simpler.
