You can stream Highway Patrol (1955) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

Highway Patrol was a syndicated, fictional police action series produced from 1955 to 1959, concerning the activities of the highway patrol and their leader, Dan Matthews (who held no rank). Although filmed in and around the Los Angeles area, the state setting for the stories was never identified, and city and street names were fictionalized.

Dan Matthews navigates the lawless stretches of the open road to maintain order among unpredictable motorists and criminals. This mid-century procedural captures the raw tension of life behind the wheel through punchy, episodic crime-solving.
