I'd continue coasting to the light if no one is behind me. Bummer that the scenario has a car already at the light. At nighttime, without any cars at a camera-sensored intersection, I usually flash my high-beams on and off a few times as I approach the traffic light as that often makes the light turn green in my city.

EDIT: oh! you mean the light is green already for me and the car ahead is cross traffic. Sorry my bad.

Yeah, I'd definitely pulse to try and beat the light.
