I noticed E+C going in from the south the cycle lane to the left that goes behind the bus stops fills from the ASL and has no stop line so you can just ride off the road into it.
Yup- this is a really good feature, IMO. Not waiting for those lights can mean that using the cycle lane is quicker, even when slowing down a little to a safe speed around dozy peds.

If you dismount you are a pedestrian and can do what you like. If you are cycling it's the same, it's sometimes ambiguously marked for cyclists but if it has a clear stop line or kerb where a stop line could be then that's that I'd think as the law broken when jumping the lights is "ignoring a traffic signal" which all the lights could be taken as. Also I'd think it depends if it's a cycle track parallel to a pedestrian crossing or a shared use pavement toucan crossing or a tiger pegasus pelican or other crossing.
