How do you define 'knowingly'? You mean if someone uses a banned road, full stop, DQ.
Problem with banned roads is not all are signed, some are poorly signed, it's hard to tell in Austria or Germany with no StreetView, some are legal but banned by organisers, some are banned but regularly used by local cyclists, some are legal but frowned on by local authorities...

Yeah, but easiest to just make decision afterwards. And make it final. As Frank said, it takes resources they don't have to make such decisions during the race. Plus not all tracker data is 100%.
IMO if someone knowingly uses a banned road it should be DQ.
