He did not ask if I was avoiding traffic control, he asked if I was taking this route to get around traffic. He did not make it known to me that I broke a law until AFTER his question. All the officer did was ask me if I was trying to get around traffic, which I was.

Had he asked if I was "avoiding traffic control" AND I answered yes, he would have a better way of it, but that was not what he asked...see?

Think about this law.....avoiding traffic control. What are we said to be avoiding? the sign, correct, when I get to the entry point, from the parking lot, don't I STILL have stop to make sure it is safe to proceed? yes.
