Why is 35 in a school area not proper? Seems a bit fast to me.

My problem is that it was around 4pm. No kids, no traffic, the area was pretty much abandoned and my ticket is for unsafe speed. I was not looking at the speedometer, I was traveling what I deemed safe for road conditions on a decline hill about to downshift to 3rd gear from 4th. I was not driving reckless and it was certaintly not a residental area. The 2 school zone signs are remarkably high and out of direct driver line of sight so I feel this is a trap. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong but this kind of bothers me.
I live on a street with a school zone where kids play in the middle of the street and I would like speed limits to be no more than 30 mph in this area. My dog was hit by a speeding car and nothing is done to protect my area during and not during school hours yet an officer who is supposed to be protecting is sitting writing tickets. Is something wrong with this picture or is this just me?
