Yes, ANY ticket is considered an arrest. You don't have to be taken in to be "arrested". This is a misconception by people who are not law enforcement.

What if an officer doesn't sign a ticket?
The ticket is still valid as long as the cop has signed it. A lot of what people perceive as what cops should do is "Hollywood". Just like Miranda does not have to be read during an arrest if the cop doesn't ask the person any questions about his crime after he/she is in custody.This depends on the state you are living in or the state that issued the ticket. In South Carolina, for example, a traffic ticket does not require the signature of the person to whom it was issued. Instead, the traffic ticket is considered a" courtesy summons" which states that the officer is accusing you of a traffic violation and is demanding that you go to court to answer the charges or pay the fines indicated on the ticket.In Florida, on the other hand, your signature is required on the ticket. If you do not sign the ticket the officer can arrest you and take you to jail or he can demand that you post a bond right there on the road, generally for the fine indicated on the ticket.
Does a traffic ticket become expired I got a traffic ticket but I'm going to leave the US to work in Europe for many years. If I won't pay will my ticket expire I'm residing in CA.?
No, tickets don't expire. If you get a ticket, you get a ticket. In CA, your ticket requires that you appear in court either fight it or pay it and receive your sentencing and traffic school if available. But if you evade your ticket and dodge court, a warrant can and probably will be issued for your arrest. My advice, just pay it.
What happens if you're extremely late in paying a traffic ticket in California?
A warrant is issued for your arrest. If stopped your car will be impounded and you will be taken into custody.
