True or False: Security guards are only allowed to enforce the highway traffic act on private property.

The correct answer is that it is false that security guards are only allowed to enforce the Highway Traffic Act on private property. In general, security guards have limited powers, and their enforcement capabilities regarding traffic laws are constrained by their jurisdiction and the nature of their employment.

In most cases, security guards can enforce rules and regulations set forth by the property owner on private property, but they do not possess the authority to enforce highway traffic laws in the same way that police officers do. The Highway Traffic Act is primarily enforced by law enforcement officers who are trained and authorized to uphold those laws on public roadways, sidewalks, and areas where public traffic is present.

Therefore, while security personnel may manage traffic-related issues on private property (such as enforcing parking regulations), they do not have the blanket authority to enforce the Highway Traffic Act outside of those specific confines or contexts. This distinction clarifies why the statement regarding their enforcement being limited strictly to private property is not accurate.
