I would take a picture of the intersection and stop by your local LEO station. They're usually very helpful with that type stuff. Then note the officer's name and make notes of what they say, and the date of the conversation. Save the picture. Should the answer be "No, don't stop" and you ever get a ticket, you have a lot more ammunition in court. You'll get a lot further with "Based on our conversation on x date discussing this picture, Officer So-and-So said we should not stop". That will go a lot further than "I asked on a cycling forum and they said I was probably good to not stop", though I'd love to see the judge's reaction to that defense!

I'm with you. Without official clarification, I think I'd stop.
