VAC puzzler

Very simple road scenario.

Two intersecting two lane (one each way, no turn lanes) roads controlled by a traffic light. Inductive sensor covers and works for entire left side 10' width of lane. Lane is 15' wide.

You as the cyclist are making a left turn. You are first in line and the light is red. There are vehicles behind you stopping who will also activate sensor. Your experience is that most are going straight or turning right. There is not a protected left signal.

Question: Where laterally (left-center-right) in the lane do you stop and where in relation to stop line?
