Sin bin for red light jumping cyclists

[Ming the Merciless]

nope. if the light was green when you entered the ASL box

See highway code. As a driver, you should not enter that box, unless the exit is clear.

I don't jump red lights when I cycle or drive.
It's illegal, irresponsible and dangerous.

Not always illegal, not always irresponsible and often safer than waiting at the stop line for a phoney driver to run you over.

Also if a cyclist does it it just gives further ammunition to the anti cycling crowd who label all as red light jumpers anyway.

They don't need ammo, or any basis in reality, to keep on their hate campaign against less-polluting transport.

As a rural cyclist and have absolutely no concerns about ignoring red lights where I think it pragmatic.
Traffic lights on bridges and junctions etc I'll comply with, but if there is a half mile stretch of cones, and the road inside the cones rideable, then there I go. I'll even hop off and push the bike along a footpath if it suits me.
A terrible attitude I know...

I have been instructed by the workers at one set of temporary lights to cycle through the coned off section

Wrong.
I suggest you check the highway code
