Traffic officers operate on motorways and some primary routes in England. What are they authorised to do?

Explanation: Traffic officers do not have enforcement powers but are able to stop and direct people on motorways and some 'A' class roads. They only operate in England and work in partnership with the police at incidents, providing a highly trained and visible service. They are recognised by an orange and yellow jacket and their vehicle has yellow and black markings
