Traffic control is serviced in most weather conditions, being mindful of pedestrian and officer safety. Generally, this service is requested by businesses whose operations extend onto public streets or onto private roads when they require traffic control services to minimize business liability and to protect public safety.

 

The officer may use a reflective vest, light stick, whistle, or other directing devices. This is a more dangerous job compared to a Standing Post, due to civilians in vehicles and potentially hazardous weather conditions.
