(1)This section explains the general powers which may be conferred by an intervention order under section 21(5)(c).
(2)Such powers may authorise the traffic director to give to the local traffic authority directions with respect to the exercise of any specified function, including in particular directions—
(a)to exercise (or to cease or refrain from exercising) such a function;
(b)as to the way in which such a function is (or is not) to be exercised;
(c)as to the policies to be adopted in the exercise of any function.
(3)The order may specify any function of the authority (whether or not conferred in their capacity as a traffic authority) the exercise of which appears to the appropriate national authority to be capable of contributing to, or interfering with, the achievement of the traffic director’s objectives.
(4)Such powers may also authorise the traffic director, where it appears to him that the authority has failed to comply with a direction—
(a)to take any steps which still remain to be taken by the authority to comply with the direction, and
