It seems the only two options are jumping the red or take the lane, I do both at my problem intersections. Though I don't have any 6 lane ones, I do have quite a few 6-way intersections. If I don't take the lane I get buzzed. If I wait till it's green I get buzzed.

edit: (it seems a pretty far walk to cross 6 lanes, and it sounds like the green is not very long)

However, at least a few times when running a red I thought there was no one coming and started up, only to suddenly see a car there running the yellow. So it's dangerous, but so is waiting until the green when the drivers are all putting the pedal to the metal and swerving around the left turners.
