You should not start across an intersection if you know you will block the intersection when the lights turn red:

Unless you entered the intersection on a green light.
Unless you are in a hurry and need to get to your destination quickly.
Under any circumstance.
Unless you entered the intersection on a yellow light.
Explanation

Blocking an intersection can cause traffic congestion and increase the risk of accidents. When drivers enter an intersection without enough space to clear it before the light turns red, they may end up blocking other drivers from moving in any direction.
