Its always been my way of thinking that if you want to be seen, wear a high viz. This doesn't mean you become the boss of all before you, it just means you can be seen and are taking your own safety to hand as you see fit.
As for loads of event officials in jackets, to my mind its the wrong way round. Surely it would be better for the general conciousness not to see them all over the place? That way if a load suddenly appear, you'll know something is up and you need to stop what your doing/going etc.
Have eyes and ears around for sure, but a name badge (or number) should suffice if instructions are to be given. Personally if folk are accountable for what they do/say I always find them more polite.
As for kids in jackets. Get them involved, teach then some skills and yes make them aware of whats what, but do't ever get them to tell me how to drive or behave.
All my own opinion of course and my thoughts are not connected to Onslow.
