What happens if I simply can't afford the bail

What is the name of your state? California
I got a speeding ticket last month, and have the trial in september. But the thing is, I'm having hard time financially, and I'm not sure I will be able to pay for the bail. Considering that it was my first ticket, what would the judge decree (if I plead guilty) ? I read that if you are going more than 20 miles than speed limit, you are not allowed to traffic school. And I was given a ticket over that speed.

Most courts will allow you to set up a payment plan, call the court and ask.

oh that's better. thanks. But I have another couple of questions.
can I do community service instead of paying for the ticket? And is it really true about the traffic school not being available in this kind of infractions? Do you know the regulations about traffic school?
