I've been known to do this when there aren't any cars on either side of the stop light, and the light is known to ignore cycles. Other than waiting a random amount of time for a car to come along and trip the sensors, my only other alternative is to go up to the sidewalk and trigger the crosswalk signal - which may be more correct behavior from a legal standpoint; but is not as efficient as me making a U-Turn which I can do much more safely and efficiently than a car can.
