Yes, arresting you is an option the officer has in that case. He can also just give you the ticket (or put it in your car) and walk away, because in the long run it doesn't really matter much whether you sign or not. Which he'll choose to do likely depends on how much you've ticked him off and how full the jails are at the moment.
Signing the ticket is not an admission of guilt, it's an acknowledgement that you know you got a speeding ticket and that you will either pay the fine or appear in court to contest it. Signing proves that you knew about the ticket so can't later claim that you didn't, but the video from the camera in the patrol car showing the officer giving you the ticketalso proves this (so you still can't later claim that you didn't know about it).
Refusing to sign gains you nothing (you're going to have to pay the fine or appear to contest it anyway), and will make the judge when you do eventually appear in court a lot less likely to look kindly upon you. Also, if you're arrested, it's highly likely the officer will also have your car towed, so you'll get to deal with that as well.
So just sign the ticket.

∙ 10y agoYes. I was pulled over today for speeding and was let off with a warning. I asked the officer and he said that in Utah speeding tickets are classified as a misdemeanor C but if you have a clean record you can get them reduced to infractions in court.

A statute of limitations is to avoid being charged with a crime years after it occurred. A ticket has already been issued in Utah, so there is no need for a limit. The issuing jurisdiction can collect on the ticket at any point. It was common to have a forgiveness of the fine on a regular basis, but with the economy the way it is, they are seldom offered.
