You call the clerk of the city court
It is often described that way but the two violations have NOTHING in common. The "ticket" that you get for a paraphernalia possession is actually a "citation to appear" and has nothing to do with the DMV or traffic offenses.
No, it is not. Ticket can be a noun, or a verb meaning to issue a traffic citation.
Yes, it is a conviction.
When they write you a ticket, but you are not arrested. Examples of this are most traffic violations, i.e. a speeding ticket. More serious crimes will be an arrest, not a citation.

It is not necessary that you sign, the ticket is still valid
The only signature on a traffic ticket in California is that of the person getting the ticket. The officer is identified, and he fills out the citation, but he does not sign it. Here's the scoop. An officer saw you operating a vehicle in violation of the vehicle code. He pulls you over and cites you. The signature on the ticket is that of the person being cited - you. The signature is a promise to appear and answer the charge (made by the officer) and nothing more. That's all the signature is. If you refuse to sign the citation, the officer takes you downtown and your car gets towed. There isn't much middle ground. Either you promise to appear in court to answer the charges (by signing), or you are held in lieu of your failure to promise to appear (which your signature represents). Law enforcement types and the courts have been down this road before. Sign the damn ticket or cuff up. When an officer issues a citation, he is supposed to explain that the signature is just a promise to appear and not an admission of guilt. And it says right on the citation that it is not an admission of guilt but only a promise to appear. Don't be stupid about this one.
Determine what county the ticket was issued in and call the clerk of the court for the information on the ticket.
That is the correct spelling of "ticket" (entry pass, or traffic citation).
Not unless you were dragged into court. Either the officer wrote you a ticket or a citation, which you signed. If you did not appear you may have been found guilty in absentia or a warrant issued either in place of or in addition to the fine, or your license is suspended, depending on what they do there. The only way you could get a fine without a citation is if the officer arrested you, took you to jail and had you appear before a magistrate for either a plea or immediate trial.
