I have never seen any officer, in any jurisdiction wear a high visibility vest to conduct traffic stops. I know they do when at the scene of an accident, and also when they are conducting traffic ops'. the guys who usually don't wear the vest are behind a pole on the side walk, not on the street. Those guys are also usually the one that spots the offence, and relays information to the officer that is further down, who ultimately pulls the vehicle over.

Secondly, each detachment may have their own policy regarding high visibility vests, that trumps the Provincial Regulations. It would be interesting to see if that is the case.
