Narrative:

I made a runway incursion due to reference to prior experience (assumption). Lengthy ATIS information that included taxiway closures that weren't currently so; a badly timed communication failure; and a feeling of needing to help the 182 out of the way of heavier commuter traffic. I kept trying to make the most prudent decision with the information I had; but in retrospect; without the feeling of pressure to stay out of the way of other taxiing traffic at a busy airport; I should have just stopped in place and held them up until I got the problem fixed or clarified. The controller's instructions to taxi to runway via the txwys that were notamed closed confused us; and it would have been helpful to me to have had him somehow tell me his expectation was for me to utilize those; versus go the 'open' way that I had just gone.

Title: C182 PLT CROSSES RWY WITHOUT CLRNC AT IDA.

Narrative: I MADE A RWY INCURSION DUE TO REF TO PRIOR EXPERIENCE (ASSUMPTION). LENGTHY ATIS INFO THAT INCLUDED TXWY CLOSURES THAT WEREN'T CURRENTLY SO; A BADLY TIMED COM FAILURE; AND A FEELING OF NEEDING TO HELP THE 182 OUT OF THE WAY OF HEAVIER COMMUTER TFC. I KEPT TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST PRUDENT DECISION WITH THE INFO I HAD; BUT IN RETROSPECT; WITHOUT THE FEELING OF PRESSURE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TAXIING TFC AT A BUSY ARPT; I SHOULD HAVE JUST STOPPED IN PLACE AND HELD THEM UP UNTIL I GOT THE PROB FIXED OR CLARIFIED. THE CTLR'S INSTRUCTIONS TO TAXI TO RWY VIA THE TXWYS THAT WERE NOTAMED CLOSED CONFUSED US; AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO ME TO HAVE HAD HIM SOMEHOW TELL ME HIS EXPECTATION WAS FOR ME TO UTILIZE THOSE; VERSUS GO THE 'OPEN' WAY THAT I HAD JUST GONE.
