Question:
Are the magnets guaranteed to be strong enough to hold at highway speeds and rough roads?

The Blazer LED Amber Warning Beacon # C43A with magnetic mount does not carry a formal driving speed rating but I did go to our warehouse so I could try this light on a variety of steel/ferrous metal surfaces. When I placed this unit on a painted steel shelf structure so that all of its 4 disc magnets were in contact with the steel, it held with enough grip that I would expect only a direct hit from road debris (for example, a big chunk of tire tread from a blown tire) might be able to dislodge it. Wind pressure from highway speeds should be nothing at all to worry about.
