My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California. Yesterday as approaching an intersection to cross a street with lights. As approached the through traffic lane was blocked by two large trucks with cones all around. There were no signs posted as to where through traffic should go. The right lane only lane was open and left turn only. We were the first car in the left turn lane. We planned to turn left when we got the green arrow and the saw that the light was green for through traffic and left turn so instead of going left we made a slight maneuver to the right. This was not unsafe as all other traffic was stopped. There were no signs telling people who wanted or needed to go straight what to do. The police officer followed us, we were only crossing the intersection and going a short distance into a parking lot and gave us a ticket. It seems unfair as our lane was blocked by a paint crew with no instructions. This was at 8:15 am with very light traffic. We were on vacation and this is too far to come back and fight it but was thinking of doing a written statement and I took pictures. If I lose can I still do traffic school. Thanks
