Is it legal.

No. The question should be why you are considering doing this. Being legal or not does not protect you from an accident, but considering the risks in the situation might.
Does the airport have a designated LVO taxi pattern, equipped with ground radar, could the intersection be mis-identified, etc …

There may not be any specific regulation, but there is for the Captain’s responsibility for the safety of the flight.
Is it safe, this requires judgement not legality.
The question is not how can we do this (is it legal), but should we be thinking of doing this.
