Yes. Remember that a signature on a traffic ticket is not an admission of guilt. It is only a promise to appear before a judge to answer a charge. Let's step through a few things to figure it out. It works kinda like this. The officer is sworn to take appropriate action when he sees what he believes to be an infraction of the law. If he tickets an individual, then he is saying, "I saw you do ____." The individual is not guilty, but has been seen doing something against the law by an officer of the court (a cop, who is sworn to uphold the law). The cited person must now defend himself. How? He must appear. If he does not sign the ticket (meaning that he is promising to appear and answer the charge), he may be taken into custody and physically held (because he refused to sign the ticket - refused to promise, by signature, to appear).

Normally a signature on the ticket admits only that you were given a copy and that you agree to appear on the charge.
