direct traffic
Control vehicle flow
To direct traffic is to control the flow of vehicles, typically by standing at an intersection and using hand signals.
Police officers direct traffic when signals fail or during events.
The phrase extends to anyone managing flow or movement: She spent the party directing traffic between the kitchen and dining room.
A traffic director coordinates rather than participates.
