That's generally the safest bet. Make your intentions totally transparent to everyone. And if someone behind you gets pissed off cos you're taking up 4 feet of space that a car could take up, screw em. Would they be pissed off if a motorcycle was there in your place? And besides, you can pretty much accelerate as fast as a car and you'll be out of their way by the other side of the intersection....
