Well, I got told off by the police this morning too. Filtered to the front of a queue of traffic and found nowhere reasonable to tuck in between the two construction trucks at its head, so went in front of the front one (crossing the stop line, but short of the markers for the ped xing). Got told to move back across the stop line and wait alongside the truck by a police officer standing on the pavement. "I want to be sure he can see me", I said. "He'll be able to see you", she replies. On the one hand I wish I had her confidence. On the other, I'd rather not be dead. Didn't stop to discuss further because I thought it was more important to put some distance between me and it as soon as the lights went green.
