On the motorway
261
You MUST NOT exceed 70 mph (112 km/h), or the maximum speed limit permitted for your vehicle (see page 40). If a lower speed limit is in force, either permanently or temporarily, at road works 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.
