Explanation:
A stale green light is a green light that is almost ready to turn yellow. At this time you have a strong feeling that a light is going to change from green to yellow, you can actually start stopping for it when it is still green so that when it turns yellow you are already stopping.

निस्‍तेज होना महत्‍वपूर्ण है। कई स्रोतों में हरी बत्‍ती नारंगी होती है, कई में यह पीली होती है। A stale green light is a green light that is almost ready to turn yellow. You can tell a stale green light from a fresh one by the observation of a frantically blinking "don't walk" signal. - www.kottke.com.

यहां यह बात विचार करने योग्‍य है कि इस मुहावरे का उपयोग कहां हो रहा है। कई देशों में नारंगी रोशनी का प्रबंध है, कई देशों में नहीं। इसी अनुरूप रंग चुना जा सकता है। इसके मद्देनजर हम अपने जुमले को इस तरह भी लिख सकते हैं:


''निस्‍तेज होती हुई और हरी से नारंगी/पीली होने ही वाली ट्रैफिक की रोशनी''
