No, or at least not in the state I'm from. They have penalties in the statutes for 1-5 miles per hour over. Usually the cop or traffic court judge will use discretion to ignore tickets and penalties in such minor cases, but when you don't codify that it can lead to more nefarious reasons for enforcing it.
