I have tried using a closed and rapidly opening fist towards the top of my crash helmet, ( to represent flashing), and have been warned accordingly using the same method, but many would not understand the message being conveyed.

Flashing your lights at other motorists to warn them about speed cameras could count as police obstruction.GoSafe says that if you were caught, the court might consider the following: Was there any obstruction of a constable? Was the constable acting lawfully in the execution of their duty? Was the obstruction intentional?According to the Crown Prosecution Service, you could get serve 1 month in prison for police obstruction and potentially get a level 3 fine, which is £1,000.
That proves speed cameras are not there for safety and you would/should win in court. By warning people, they slow down and achieve the alleged aim of the camera to slow people down.
