What should not be used when conducting traffic controls?

When conducting traffic controls, handcuffs or batons are inappropriate tools to use. Traffic control is primarily focused on directing vehicles and pedestrians safely through an area, and the use of force or restraints does not align with this objective. Tools such as traffic cones, flashing lights, and flags are designed specifically to provide clear guidance and visibility to drivers and pedestrians, making them effective for maintaining order on the roads. Handcuffs or batons may imply law enforcement or a need for restraint, which could escalate a situation rather than facilitate safe and smooth traffic flow.
