I don't see the need to shift down especially when you're in 4th rather than 6th, you can change down to 2nd but I'd rather just coast in gear. I'd simply slow down and if you're certain to stop, neutral before the engine lugs. If the light changes green before getting to a stop, go to 2nd and be in your way. The only speed I'd ever shift down to 1st is less than 15 km/h or 9 mph to prevent 2nd from lugging likely the reason there isn't a 1st gear lock out.
