Temporary traffic lights, those installed to regulate traffic flow where there are roadworks create often much longer waits and aren't synched with the rest of the system.
I had heard that these are a 'request' to stop and that legally they are not of the same status as proper lights so you can jump them legally (and they are often installed in places where a cyclists could fit with an oncoming driver)
Can't find reference to these in the highway code to confirm this belief. Anyone know the law?
