If you need to bump start just before the light changes, why not use DFCO to slow down a little faster and avoid the whole shut down restart scenario altogether.
I know every one of the 46 lights I go through regularly, and I know when they are about to change to green. The Fiesta downshifts nicely to maintain DFCO down to very low speeds and it's the automated manual transmission.
Out of the 46 lights there are a couple new ones that are triggered, by cross traffic, and not synchronized. Those are the one that catch me occasionally, and in a few more months the city will get it's act together and fix their timing.
If I was going to restart, I would avoid key starts as much as possible since they may also include temporary enrichment. On the VX a key restart kills lean burn for something like 30 seconds.
