Traffic control&parking

If you are issued a patrol vehicle or using your own car, you will be required to monitor situations on a larger scale than you would be capable of compared to walking on foot.

Vehicle patrols are key in covering large scale property or multiple sites on your shift.

Ability to cover areas faster, carry multiple guards or equipment.

Protection from weather is another advantage.

Disadvantages are poor roads, vision blocks etc.

Security guards may be called upon to help with the controlling of traffic on private property at gated entrances to buildings or parking lots.

Proper reflective vests must be worn to ensure the safety of the guard.

Conventional signals and movements should be used to ensure the understanding of all involved.

In order to make everyone understand the purpose of the security guard, the control should be done in a courteous and persuasive manner.
