(In the US) All sworn police officers, whether they carry out traffic duties or not, are armed. If you are referring to uniformed civilian parking officers, or uniformed civilian aides who may, or may not, direct traffic at school crossings or busy intersections, they usually are not. It is generally easy to tell if a uniformed officer is armed by observing whether or not they are carrying a service weapon in a holster on their belts.

It depends on what you mean. Most police departments do not require officers to carry a gun if the officer is off duty. However, generally speaking, any on-duty police officer is required to carry a gun.
There are some exceptions. If an officer was unable to pass the shooting requirements, the officer may be placed on temporary desk duty where he or she does not go out on patrol. Additionally, some higher ranking officers that are in an office most of the day may choose to not carry a gun all day. Here in this city, they are sometimes called "white shirts" because some of them wear white uniform shirts instead of the all black uniform that patrol officers wear.

Would cops be able to carry weapons if guns were banned?
If you take the example of the UK (where guns are banned), the normal police on duty on the streets are not armed with guns. There are UK police trained to use and carry guns but they only do so when responding to a situation where a criminal is seen to be armed. Based on this tried example, is is clear that if guns were banned effectively, the police would not need to carry weapons.
