The average response time is about 0.3 seconds plus the time it takes for the vehicle to respond. So we expect about 1 second. But I know of drivers who honk as soon as the light turns green.
I tend to take a moment after the light turns green to look both ways before proceeding. Someone running a red light will take you out in a heartbeat if you are too quick into the intersection.
