Waved through red lights

Here's one for you then...
Last night when going to pickup my daughter
I approached the centre of Bristol which is undergoing major, major road works. They were working away resurficing at 10pm (bless them) and had temporarily closed a section of DC and diverted traffic around the block.
I then came up to a permanent set of traffic lights (not temporary) that were on red and stopped (surprise, surprise!) along with a few other vehicles.
Then a workman in a high-viz jacket beckoned traffic through the red lights. It was clear and so I and everyone else proceeded - but I suspect that makes me a law-breaker.
Am I right in assuming only police can direct traffic through red lights?
