The 20 mph sign is an advisory sign of what the speed limits are in TV if there are no signs stating speed. Why someone got a ticket if going no more than 45 I don't understand. There is the possibility that the ticketing officer was incorrect and if the ticket lists a speed of 45 or lower, I'd fight the citation in court.
This was my initial thought when seeing the sign, but someone always knows of a "person who got the ticket" Another tempest in a teapot!
