In my country that's also true (with marigin larger than 5mph), but my understanding is that that's because the measurements instruments (laser-based speed meters) are not perfect and it may be a mistake and not actual speed limit breach.
Some methods of measuring car speed don't have this limitation, like range-based measurements (check time when car enters road segment, when it leaves road segment, and make sure the average is under the speed limit).

And I want to say some time in the late 90s, early aughts, that margin was changed to 3km/h across the board. I don't know how that interacted with speed camera tolerances.
