It is generally not illegal to accelerate through a yellow traffic light as long as you are able to safely make it through the intersection before the light turns red. However, you should always exercise caution and be prepared to stop if the light changes.
It is legal for all traffic to make left-hand turns when the traffic light is red if it is a designated "permissive turn" intersection that allows left turns on red after stopping and yielding to oncoming traffic. These intersections are rare and typically have signs indicating this permission. Otherwise, making a left turn on a red light is generally illegal unless otherwise specified by local traffic laws.
In most places, emergency vehicles such as police cars, firetrucks, and ambulances are legally allowed to go through a red light when responding to an emergency with their lights and sirens activated.
yes the law does say you have stay stopped just stop and the go if no other traffic is comingANS2:In the U.S., a flashing red light at an intersection is treated as a stop sign. Some states permit motorcyclists to treat a non-changing signal as a stop sign if the pavement sensor does not detect them. At an intersection with a malfunctioning signal, the intersection is treated as a 4-way stop. For other situations, if you are certain that you can convince the police officer who stops you for running the red light that you waited a reasonable length of time and you didn't interfere with opposing traffic, the officer might not cite you. The law says that you don't enter the intersection on red unless directed by police.

There is no specific length of time for a red light. Traffic engineers make that determination according to the flow of traffic.
A red light traffic ticket may be obtained by a specific type of traffic infraction known as "running a red light." This means driving through an intersection without stopping if the light is flashing red, or simply driving through any solid red light. The light must either be equipped with a camera to photograph the vehicle license plate, or a law enforcement officer must observe the infraction and flag down the driver. Either way, the ticket involves a financial penalty typically ranging from $100 to $250.
All emergency vehicles can run a red light without penalty if on an emergency at the time. All other traffic including cycles must stop at the red light.
