I was pulled over for speeding in a construction zone, however there were no posted signs. On the ticket the officer wrote 45-50 in 35 mph zone. Can this be dismissed in court?

If there were no signs, you have an excellent chance of getting the speeding ticket dismissed. Don't expect the court to take your word, you will need proof and the best way is a video of the area along with a good witness. Check with the court to find out what they will admit into evidence. Check the laws in your state regarding construction zones and the requirements for signage.

No. a construction zone speaks for itself. most construction zones will have a much lower speed limit for two reasons: dangerous road conditions and to protect the highway workers. a citation issued in a construction zone, can carry a much stiffer fine, due to the elements involved. this is self-explanatory and should not need explaining. you will have a difficult time explaining your excessive speed in court.
