Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

i was turning right on red while a cop was behind me, as i stopped and yeilded for about 6 seconds i continued to turn right. as i did, i noticed the road i was turning onto was closed with a barracade, so i was forced to stay straight, which was the safest thing to do. there were absolutly no signs of any kind stating road closed or detour before the stoplight. you could not of seen the blockade until you got into the middle of the intersection. i got a disregard of an traffic device ticket. is that something i should fight?

It's hard to say without more information, but it sounds like a situation that is worthy of a hearing. If you fight it on your own, make sure to you take pictures that fully depict the scene. Good luck.
