Major routes of travel in the state have been identified and assigned mnemonics. These mnemonics are helpful if the direction of travel of a wanted/sought subject or vehicle is known. An agency may then send messages to specific agencies along the route of travel. All areas also include the TIME System Control Center (TSCC). Use the four-character mnemonic following the area identifier to send administrative messages to the agencies listed in the area.
The same categories and rules used for all points bulletins are to be used when considering an AREA/HIGHWAY broadcast; the difference being that the information in the message pertains to a specific area of the state rather than having state or nationwide significance. The highway broadcast can be sent by an individual agency, it is not to be requested through TSCC. Major routes of travel in the state have been identified, and each was assigned an identifying mnemonic. The following illustrates the highways and their identifiers.
