Others have said I should wait until oncoming traffic has cleared before I enter the intersection. If you choose one or the other, please tell me why you do what you do.
Is there a FL statute that covers this? Thanks

Single lanes ok, double lanes can be dangerous, triple lanes you are risk get hit by red light runners in right two lanes that blocks you vision by other car or cars that stopped. At some intersections that’s only way you can get across lanes full of traffic.
