I wasn't arguing or being rude. I was explaining and trying to understand from my point of view.

The red marks the non truck route and blue marks the road which should be taken. However, my point is that the signs state that the road "Main St" is 54W/77N. As listed on maps of both GPS and Rand McNally Atlas. Even by their own signs it shows Main St as 54/77. From their stance, the sign right before Vine St that says truck route 54W/77N means you should take Vine St. Where I'm stating it's not clear is from the actual view from that sign you can see the sign ahead that says Main St is a junction for 54W/77N. It's harder to see from your photos you posted. I think there are some vehicles blocking them in one. -
I also forgot to mention that after the stop just a couple blocks north I ran into this sign on 54W/77N. A sign similar to this, or even a sign that specifically states that Vine St is the correct truck route not Main St, would work as well. All of the signs they have posted say the truck route is 54W/77N. Main St is 54W/77N. I'd completely own up to making a boo boo. Maybe it's just me and I don't understand it. It is what it is. Hiring a lawyer would cost the price of the ticket or more . Taking the day off and making the travel there to court would cost significantly more to fight it myself. It's really a worthless cause. I'd imagine that I'm not the only one this has happened to though. -
Here’s the sign coming from the east about 2 blocks before you need to turn.
Here’s the sign at Vine St. It’s not obstructed by the pole of you move your street view out into the travel lane away from the curb.
This is the sign with truck route info when you’re coming from the north.
Truck route sign coming from the south.
Note at the bottom it says “Truck Route strictly enforced. Local deliveries only”. Just because there aren’t any “No Trucks” signs doesn’t mean you can stray off a marked truck route.kemosabi49 Thanks this. -

Look dude, relax.
Explaining it to the cop is meaningless, once she issued the ticket she can't take it back. So thank her for her working an almost more dangerous job as you do and move along.
Get a traffic ticket lawyer and get it reduced or tossed.buzzarddriver Thanks this. -
The signs say the truck route is strictly enforced and you were off the truck route. Now you have to decide if you want to spend the money to fight it.Deere hunter Thanks this. -
