I could do that, however it is time consuming and there is no easy way to rejoin traffic on the other side unless I were hop off a curb(not an option in the winter).

Probably one would receive a ticket if the police were undetected. I would be less inclined to jump the light if a cruiser was nearby since motorists suddenly remember their traffic manners in those cases.

No way, i've used that road for a while because it was more direct.. it is even wilder with many large trucks - i gave up. Controlling a lane there was just too dangerous.
