When I entered the questionnaire from my lawyer (who filed the I485) the question was if I had been arrested, charged, cited (excluding minor traffic violations). Therefore I answered NO to the question. During my interview the officer went through a lot of the YES/NO questions but he only asked if we had ever been arrested, not if we had ever been cited.

At the end of the interview he asked if we had anything to add that may be relevant. At that point I disclosed my traffic citation and he answered that it was no issue and he did not even mark the form differently. I think if you mark the question YES, you do need to provide documentation as well as evidence that you paid the fine.

You need to mark 'yes' and provide proof of payment.
The question excludes parking tickets, but includes moving violations.
If you say 'no' and they ask you about it, or see it in your record, they can assume that you are dishonest or hiding something. Usually it's okay if you bring it up in the interview, because many people mess up that question and the IOs understand that not everyone knows what it means, but why give yourself the headache of being unprepared? Or they can RFE you for the record, and that's a delay in your case. Just say 'Yes' and then write a note about it and give proof.
