	This is an artificial series, consisting of five photo albums, plus some loose pages. The first album seems incomplete, containing photos of vehicle testing stations between Invercargill and Dunedin. Other photos of vehicle testing stations can be found in series 6781 Miscellaneous Photographs. Similarly, other photos of Ministry of Transport displays can also be found in this series.

	

	The alphabetical photo file was used by the Road Safety Publicity Section of the Road Transport Division. Unfortunately, not all of the volumes have survived. The file is divided into subjects, which are arranged alphabetically.

	

	The first set of loose pages appear to have been removed from vol 1 of the photo file, and covers Accidents, and Alcohol and Drugs. The rest of vol 1 includes Alcohol and Drugs, Animals, Auto Engineering, and Bicycles. The second set of loose pages are probably from an earlier version of vol 1, and include Accidents - Bicycles. The third set of loose pages are of Rescue Vehicles. Vol 5 includes Traffic Officer Training, Traffic Situations, Trucks & Buses, and Wide Load. Negatives of these photographs, and of photographs from the missing volumes, can be found in series 6761 Negative File.

	

	The final photo album, from the Enforcement Section, is divided into the following sections: Equipment, Graduation and Training, Enforcement Duties, and Road Traffic Instructors and Parking Meter Officers.

	

	Other negatives of photographs from this series may be found in series 6776 Numbered negatives and series 6777 Unidentified negatives, although this has not been confirmed.
