I always ride with a mirror so I know what is behind. I'll duck into a bus stop alcove, driveway etc., and let traffic go by if there is a stack of cars which have no recourse to go around. I have sometimes received thumbs up from drivers for this. It really is about courtesy on the road, not law. If when static at a traffic light and some cyclist blows through, I'll usually look at the driver of the closest car and do a "no-no" index finger wave or thumbs down to indicate to them and other waiting drivers that I feel their pain regarding that sort of reckless behavior. This lets them know not all (very few in fact) cyclists approve of such driving and so don't paint me with the same brush.
