ah... are you sure about the part about going through the red lights after stopping?... reading carefully.. it doesn't say anything about proceeding through after stopping, just that they can ROR without stopping.

A person operating a bicycle or human-powered vehicle approaching a steady red traffic-control signal shall stop before entering the intersection, except that a person after slowing to a reasonable speed and yielding the right-of-way if required, may cautiously make a right-hand turn without stopping or may cautiously make a left-hand turn onto a one-way highway without stopping.
