Is expiation obligatory for one who swore not to take a specific path for a certain purpose, then went to the same purpose via another path?

The pivotal factor in oaths is the intention of the one swearing. So, if someone swears not to walk on a road, and their intention is not to buy from a specific shop on that road, then they break their oath if they buy from it, even if they take another road.
