You may not need to appear in court for your citation.
You have the right to go to the court and plead not guilty. You also have the right to appear in court with an explanation for the judge. However you may be able to handle your citation without going to court. You may submit a letter to serve as your appearance and the judge may then reduce your fine or dismiss your citation based on that letter.
You may also pay the imposed fine in person or by mail prior to court date.
