You are not allowed over the limit at all. The police sometimes use their discretion if the speed is very close to the limit because they worry that they will not be able to convince the court beyond reasonable doubt that you were speeding but in theory they could charge you with 31 in a 30!
Have you got any points already? If so how many? Are you a new driver?
It doesn't matter that you didn't see the trap. the requirement for them to be visible is only a guideline.
