I had the same fear when I started clipless. What I did was unclipped both my feet and just gently laid my feet (the middle part so my shoes wouldn't clip back in) on my pedals until I got to the intersection. It might have taken me a little longer to actually get to the intersection, but I knew that I'd be able to put both my feet down without falling. That was over 3 months ago and I am now don't even thinkg about it anymore. I'm able to only unclip one foot (always the same foot~left for me) with no problem and no fear.

It just takes time
