Thanks for the quick response. I thought that's what I would end up hearing but I wanted to see if there was any chance. I did ignore the sign but only because I didn't know and would have taken a left if I knew. I didn't see anything unsafe with what I did. The lane continues and nearly every intersection with two left turn lanes the center most one has a left and straight sign. Agreeing that I broke the rule is definitely not the best defense. This is my first ticket and getting it for this is frustrating as I'm sure all tickets can be.
The ticket is for 03 Disregarding Traffic Control Device, I'm not sure if this is or what the actual citation number is.
Thank you again for the help, I really do appreciate it. Sounds like my best chance is to just suck it up and pay the fine.
