Can a security guard direct traffic on a public road?

Generally no, unless the guard is trained and authorized as a traffic control person under provincial rules, or is assisting police under their direction. Guards usually guide vehicles only on private property such as parking lots.

What is the difference between a traffic control person and a traffic assistant?

In BC, a traffic control person has approved training and controls traffic on roads near work zones. A traffic assistant only directs vehicles in parking or holding areas and needs workplace training.

What hi-vis do I need for traffic work?

Follow your employer and provincial rules. In BC, traffic control persons wear Class 3 apparel meeting CSA Z96-15 plus high-visibility headgear, and carry a flashlight with a red wand at night.
