An intersection that does not have a stop light or stop signs to control the flow of traffic
When crossing an intersection, it is important to remember to look both ways for oncoming traffic before proceeding.
General rules of the road state that you must clear the intersection by the time the red light illuminates; if there was traffic preventing you from clearing the intersection before you entered it on a yellow light then you should not have entered the intersection because of impediments to traffic.

A pedestrian crossing at a corner has the right of way when they are in a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with a traffic signal indicating it is safe to cross.
Controlled Intersection
When a pedestrians crossing the street they should look both ways to make sure there is oncoming traffic. Pedestrians should also use sidewalks and only cross the street at an intersection.
The right of way is given in a traffic intersection, not taken.
Traffic approaching the light is to stop. If the way is clear, traffic can then proceed through the intersection.
'Crossing traffic' means the traffic that is crossing in front of you moving left to right and vice-versa.
At an intersection with a flashing red traffic light, you should come to a complete stop, just as you would at a stop sign. After stopping, yield to any pedestrians and other vehicles that may have the right of way before proceeding through the intersection. It's important to ensure the way is clear and safe before continuing. Always follow any additional local traffic laws or signals that may apply.
If I was you I'd wait behind the white line so that you're out of the intersection. It's unlawful to block an intersection but it's not unlawful to block a driveway of any kind.
