1) Signs don't need to be near where the speed gun is used. It can be used anywhere that complaints are received or local knowledge indicates speed or accidents are a problem.
2) You should receive a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days, or at least the registered keeper will receive it within that time limit.
3) If it was a man in a van you will have to be within 10% plus 2mph of the speed limit, these are government guidelines..... if it was a traffic cop with a gun on his own then he may be working well over that restriction, for example he may let you get away with 15mph over the limit. It will be up to his discretion depending upon time of day/weather/traffic conditions or location, or even a mixture of the aforementioned.
