Right, but they're general police (eg, they also handle non-traffic enforcement such as drugs), right?

I believe GP's point was not about "specific enforcement of traffic laws by police" but "law enforcement agencies who are specifically charged with traffic".

True, they are full law enforcement but assigned traffic duty.

"law enforcement agencies who are specifically charged with traffic"

Are there really any that are? I didn't think that was common, even in cities. In fact, many cities are issuing guidance to not enforce basic traffic violations to prevent pretextual stops.
