I've been driving for a lot of years. Never saw a speed limit sign that said "approximate speed limit plus a few". Seems like the number on the signs means what it says.
Pretty common for most northeast states to give 10 mph leeway, mostly because if they pulled over everyone exceeding the speed limit, they'd be too busy to do anything else.
It's pretty common almost everywhere outside of urban areas to give 10 mph more or less leeway but that is just the officer's discretion. But that's not the law. If the law says the speed limit is 70 mph then it doesn't mean +10 too. Some places are more strict than others.
