I think you mean to turn right, turning left is always illegal without a green light (you can cross traffic if there is no light, just has to be done safely.) Turning right on a red is illegal in NYC, but not in many areas.

No, I mean turning left. Many times traffic is so dense that the way will not be clear unless you turn illegally. Do people just nose out into traffic and expect the oncoming lane to stop?

If there’s no cars ahead of me and my light is green, I usually drive about halfway through the intersection with my left blinker on and either traffic will clear and you turn, or the moment the light turns red and traffic stops you can quickly make your turn before the thru traffic gets the green.
