I'm gonna quote from a Czech law (I didn't find the exact version in english):
§ 22.3 :
"A driver cannot enter intersection, if the traffic situation does not allow him to pass through the intersection, making him stop the vehicle in the intersection. (This does not apply when yielding to pedestrians or when turning left.)"
I think this is a very important rule - you should miss the green light if it means the drivers from the sides (after the signal switches) will have a free way, with you not blocking it because of the vehicles that passed before you and for some reason they stopped.
Just that it's very hard to actually punish someone from doing it - as it's completely unpredictable why the truck in front of you will stop, and if you had to wait until the truck passes the intersection, that would be a big time wasted and wouldn't help the traffic flow.
However, this also might reduce the number of crashes when exiting a company/storage/parking lot, as the exits can be considered intersections as well.
