Which of the following would a security guard NOT use when conducting traffic control?

White gloves
Whistle
Reflective vest
Handcuffs and baton

The correct answer is: Handcuffs and baton

Handcuffs and a baton are not typically used when conducting traffic control. Traffic control usually involves directing vehicular or pedestrian traffic at a site where traffic signals are out of commission or at a site managing a steady stream of traffic such as an event venue. For this, security guards mostly use their hands, sometimes clad in white gloves for visibility, a whistle to capture attention, and reflective vests for visibility especially in low light conditions. Handcuffs and a baton are more related to controlling and managing physical altercations, restraining individuals or handling threats to security, not directing traffic. Therefore, they wouldn't be needed in a traffic control situation.
