The speed limit of 50 mph is a mandatory limit that you must not exceed.
Under Highway Code Rule 261, any speed limit displayed inside a red circle on an overhead motorway gantry is mandatory and legally enforceable. Drivers must not exceed this maximum speed limit.

1
Identify the shape and border colour of the overhead sign
The sign is circular with a red ring border displaying the number 50.
In the UK Highway Code, circular signs with a red border convey mandatory prohibitions or orders.
2
Apply the rule for variable speed limits on motorway gantries
The displayed 50 mph represents an enforceable maximum speed limit for all vehicles in that lane.
Highway Code Rule 261 mandates that drivers must not exceed speed limits shown within red circles on motorway signals.
