Would you call this a left lane violation

Good day all iam more of a reader then poster here, but had an interesting run in with ga dot today and want some opinions. Background am a 5yr safe cdl driver and 10 year safe military cdl driver.

I was traveling EB 20 though atl today right though the middle of downtown. Though here I20 is 5 lanes including an hov lane being number 5. The hov lane is only marked by a double white line. There are signs all over stating no trucks over 6wheels in 2 left lanes.

I was at the time traveling in the 3rd lane from shoulder leaving 2 left hand lanes still open. Dot pulled me over and basically gave me a lane restricted ticket vs a warning and a lesson lol. He told me although the HOV lane is only separated by the solid white line it is not part of the interstate. So he said it is treated as a 4 lane interstate not a 5 lane. The am not stupid just confused. From the rd it looks 5 lane with an hov lane. How am i supposed too know that ga doesnt count that lane when there is only a solid line. So you say that i believed that by the sign trucks where only restricted too the left 2 lanes and not the 3 others.

What do you all think.
Thank you and safe travels
