No, the signature is to acknowledge you received the ticket which states either your court date or that you know you'll be getting a court date.
You can still be convicted of the offense. At best, you can get out of a Failure to Appear charge for not showing up.
If you refuse to sign, the cop usually has the option of making you give a thumb print or hauling you off to jail for some reason (usually, failure to obey a lawful command of a peace officer).

No it does not matter if you sign the ticket( I always put the phone number to the courthouse their so they can call for the fine), it is not an admission of guilt. That ticket is a summons to appear for the citation to contest, or to contact the court to pay the fine.

In our state, if you refuse to sign the ticket (failure to comply), you WILL go to jail.
Why no one would sign, when it's no admission of guilt, I do not know.....
