316.2061 allows traffic to enter the intersection as long as they don't block other traffic or the crosswalk.

Cars that have correctly entered the intersection can finish their turn. However, cars do not correctly enter the intersection if they block traffic or the crosswalk. There is no one car rule but if there is no room for car #2 to enter the intersection without blocking left turns from the oncoming traffic then only one car can properly enter the intersection.
You are not blocking the crosswalk because that crosswalk has the red light. 2 cars can easily fit past the solid white line in most intersections. Those laws are on the books for when traffic is backed up on the other side of the intersection and there is no place to go.
