When is it acceptable for a WDW Security officer to direct traffic?

A Walt Disney World Security officer is trained to direct traffic in various situations where the flow of vehicles and pedestrians may become unsafe or congested. Specifically, they are expected to manage traffic at construction sites to ensure the safety of workers and guests, at accident scenes to facilitate safe passage and minimize delays, during rush-hour traffic to help maintain order as guests arrive or leave the park, and at special events where larger crowds necessitate additional traffic management to prevent chaos and ensure guest safety.

This approach reflects the importance of maintaining a seamless experience for guests while preserving safety at all times within the park. Other scenarios such as routine patrols or simply responding to guest requests do not typically warrant traffic direction, as they do not involve the immediate safety and management concerns that arise in the situations specifically outlined.
