For reference, Section 31 Road Traffic Act 1988 and Section 66 Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, authorises a chief
officerto allow any person to place an appropriately authorised sign on a road

in order to give directions to traffic. ENDS

Correct - when I was in Hull Thursday Road Club we were responsible for all signage and directions in all road races and time trials.
And all marshal's duties including stopping traffic.

A human being (if that term correctly applies to chavs on chav-bikes and
their chav-apologists) is NOT a "sign", authorised or otherwise.

Even a thicko like May Sun knows that. Or he should, at least.

A self-appointed chav acting as a "marshal" has no power to stop or
direct traffic.

And impersonating a police officer is an offence.
