I don't run into this problem frequently. I typically stay. The town where I learned to drive had numerous blind intersections, I could rarely see several blocks ahead.

I recall one instance at 6am on a Sunday morning that I was stuck at an intersection with a red light for fifteen minutes (I timed it). Eventually I had enough. I went when it was red. This was a blind intersection. I felt I was taking a risk because I could not see potential cross-traffic. A cop was in a car across the street watching me when I went and didn't do anything about it. I looked in my rear-view mirror as I drove away and saw the light turn green. Still puzzling over that one.
