Haven't checked the letter of the law, but the HC says...
231: Amber flashing lights. These warn of a hazard ahead. The signal may show a temporary maximum speed limit, lanes that are closed or a message such as 'Fog'. Adjust your speed and look out for the danger until you pbutt a signal which is not flashing or one that gives the 'All clear' sign and you are sure it is safe to increase your speed.
and then...
235: You MUST NOT exceed 70 mph, or the maximum speed limit permitted for your vehicle (see table). If a lower speed limit is in force, either permanently or temporarily, at roadworks for example, you MUST NOT exceed the lower limit. On some motorways, mandatory motorway signals (which display the speed within a red ring) are used to vary the maximum speed limit to improve traffic flow. You MUST NOT exceed this speed limit. Law RTRA sects 17, 86, 89 & sch 6
That appears to suggest that even a *temporary* speed limit on a motorway is legally enforcable.
Is the RTRA online somewhere?
