Not sure this is the right forum, but here goes...
I did some marshalling for the first time at a recent cycling charity event. My guess is there were 150 to 200 riders (myself one of them). The marshalling I did was being stationary in the middle of the road at junctions to force cars to wait until all the riders had gone passed (to be honest, this wasn't always practical, as the group was sometimes too stretched out).
Generally, motorists were understanding of holding them back, but at other times (particularly at traffic lights when they had the green light) some became angry.
Does anyone know what the highway code says ( if anything) about marshalling where you're effectively stopping traffic from moving?
Thanks
