I was always very careful to have a "clean" ride and I'm sure the penalties for main roads aren't enough. Somewhat ironically the only time I self-reported riding a banned thing was when I shot down a totally empty tunnel on a main road that turned out to be on their banned list (it was only afterwards when I saw a road name I remembered it and double checked).
It was empty, lit and way safer than screeching to a halt and doing the hike-a-bike alternate. But I emailed them from the hotel, copped my penalty fair and square (better than denying it and getting a DQ).
