The impact of a traffic lights on a highway or street is to drastically reduce the maximum traffic carrying capacity of that road. During rush hour traffic is always backed up when a light turns green, because more vehicles are arriving at the stoplight than can get through it.

Does flashing your headlights at a red traffic signal make it change to green?

No, Flashing your headlight's will have no effect on a traffic signal. The reason a traffic signal changes for emergency vehicles that have the lights flashing, is, they have a special transmitter that tells the light to change. This transmitter is connected to the emergency lights so it comes on when the lights are used.
