Correct answer
Yes, they may regulate the passage of vehicles
Yes. In the absence of agents or to assist them, roadworks personnel may regulate vehicle passage under the Regulations’ conditions, using catalogue signs mounted on a paddle. They must wear conspicuous clothing and retroreflective elements enabling recognition at the required distance. School patrols are a separate case: they use that means to invite users to stop. Roadworks personnel should not be assigned the school patrol’s function.
