Not in Georgia. There are less than 1,000 state patrol officers to cover the entire highway system, and as of an article I read a couple of months ago they have almost 1/3 of those positions vacant. (My son was criminal justice minor and they heavily tried to recruit him when he was graduating this year)
Georgia has 1,253 miles of Interstate, so yes, if at full staff and if everyone was on duty at the same time and on patrol, the could have someone posted every 1.2 miles.
