Of course its all situational but, when the light is red but its safe for me to go, I jump into the intersection because that is how you make people see you on a bike. That moment when the other side has yellow and my side has red, I can usually get at least halfway through the intersection, by the time traffic catches up, I am on the other side of it. Same for stop signs.

Again its all situational and if it doesn't look safe, I use caution and use the crosswalks if the intersection has them. I loved the Seattle bike lanes because a bunch of them now have their own signal that basically times it so you can get into traffic before the car traffic does.
