Red light zones
Can you let me know if one can legally go through a temporary red light at a road works that is failing to change to green and there is no oncoming traffic?

Sensibly, yes. But not legally, no. Some jobsworth employed by Brown's Department of Penalty Culture could leap out of the hedge and do you.
