No. It’s not.

First, if you proceed into the intersection properly, you can see approaching traffic. Second...and most importantly...even when the light turns red, you still make sure it is safe to complete your left turn before proceeding. Due to the all-red phase, there is plenty of time to do this.

Making sure there is a safe opening to complete your left turn should be the final step before completing ALL left turns.
