Can Security Guards Direct Traffic in Singapore?

Can a security officer direct vehicles at a condominium, commercial building or private property? Or are there legal limitations?

Not all traffic-related duties are the same. In Singapore, there is an important distinction between helping manage vehicle movements at private premises and exercising traffic regulation powers on public roads.

In this short educational video, Gabkotech Innovations highlights why security officers and their supervisors should understand the scope of their duties, training requirements and applicable legal authority.

Key Takeaways:

• Traffic Assistance: Understand how security personnel may assist with vehicle movements at premises.
