"Legal everywhere", within the US possibly. I'm not sure it would apply to the UK so well.
I'm not for traffic light trippers.
Traffic lights are studied and timed to allow the most efficient flow of traffic, least congestion, increased safety, etc. By using traffic light trippers we'd be fouling that up and generally making the whole city worse for everyone. Besides, if we did foul things up like that, a real ambulance would find excess congestion along it's route and take longer to be able to respond.
What's the point? Just treat red lights as give way signs and ride with your safety and the safety of others in mind, and ignore the cars, congestion and other stuff.
