So you chose option B in the OPs poll? If if he meant the immediately coming light, he should say THIS light?
By saying "NEXT light" it wouldn't be the upcoming light, but the following light?
I'm pointing out the inconsistency, not arguing what people understand NEXT Thursday to mean. The English language is full of these inconsistencies, which is just an interesting thing to point out by nerds like me.

POLL: You’re half a mile away from the stoplight and your navigator tells you “Turn left at the next light.” How do you interpret it?

The English language is so strange. The concept of your poll is correct for nearly all circumstances, but for some
