The red light scamper is similar to shoaling IMO. There's no direct impact from the act itself, except the people doing it are never quick off the line so you know you're going to spend the next few seconds looking over your shoulder to re-pass the fuckers. I think it's the general principle that a manoeuvre saving them 30 seconds is worth inconveniencing half a dozen other people for that pisses everyone* off.
All in all though its around number 37 in the great list of shitty things people do on my commute.
