Stale green light is a term used in traffic terminology. Essentially, it means that the green light has been green so long that it's about to turn yellow.
A stale green light means that the green traffic light cycle has almost ended and will change to yellow at any moment. One way to tell if it is a stale green is to look at the pedestrian crossing light, if it is flashing do not walk or is solid do not walk it could be a stale green.
a stale green light
They say that one way to determine whether is a green light is "stale" is by the flashing pedestrian "do not walk" sign. Not all intersections even have a walk or do not walk sign. Also, I have driven through intersections with flashing do not walk signs and the light remained green. The previous answer was a poor one.

Probably the water is stale. Change the water, and get a means of oxygenating the water.
When the traffic light comes into view and it's green, it was likely green for a long time, unless you also observe cars just starting to get going. If you see the traffic light is green in the distance we call this green light "stale", meaning it could turn yellow any second. A traffic light that just turned green, we call this green light "fresh", meaning it just turned green and it won't be turning yellow for a little while. Of course these times between from when it turns green then back to yellow and red again varies on the intersection. To answer the question when you're approaching a green traffic light you should prepare to stop as that green light is "stale". You don't necessarily have to slow down just get ready to hit the brake.

A delayed green light means the opposing traffic gets a early green light. Your light will still be red. You have to wait.
The green light on a traffic light means to go ahead. If you "get the green light," you have permission to move ahead on whatever project you are dealing with.
"Fresh" is a word that means the opposite of stale and has a short vowel.
