I always slowed down to the point of almost stopping, give the left-right look because "me vs car" is not a fight I want, and advance. In Davis (go Aggies!), police were pretty tight on bicyclists in terms of moving violations so I didn't want to roll the dice and break the law so blatantly. But that was Davis. Not SF or that kind of traffic scenario.

I'm just not sure why they did it at all (Idaho or elsewhere) for the stipulated reasons. Were cyclists taking too long to get through an intersection? Were too many getting burned on tickets for blowing through empty stops? Were they eating road trying to stop at the stops?
