That's a matter of state law, so you'd need to look up your state statutes and make sure there aren't local ordinances that are stricter.

Still, if there's not a cop in sight, honestly "safe" counts for a whole lot more than "legal" in my book.

I mean, you ALL take the lane even in states where it's illegal to do so, right?! I certainly plan to continue to do so in Florida. It was dangerous enough already before they passed that new law.

Most of the lights that give me problems don't have multiple lights for turning lanes, etc., so there's no such thing as a "cycle." Just a circular green, one lane in each direction, and it either turns or it doesn't.
