Why do you have traffic lights not roundabouts?
Some intersections have traffic lights instead of round abouts because there is too much traffic on some intersections for a roundabout to be safe. Roundabouts have to have a certain amount of traffic to be safe enough for no traffic light.
What did came first the vehicles or the traffic lights?
Logically, unless there were reasons to control traffic, there would have been no reason to create or install traffic lights. Because "traffic" generally comprises vehicles (motorized or otherwise), the traffic was probably there prior to the lights. Certainly, there were mechanical traffic signals that preceded traffic lights, not to mention traffic officers who once stood at busy intersections to direct traffic on a regular basis.
What is the difference between Traffic Signs and Traffic Signals?
Traffic signs can only display one piece of information and they are normally not illuminated. Traffic signs are usually put on posts on the side of the road and tell you to stop, yield, or what the speed limit is. Traffic signals have a series of lights (usually Red, Yellow, and Green), which change to give motorists multiple directions. Traffic signals are usually placed in intersections, and aside from telling drivers to go and stop, can also flash arrow signals to tell drivers in a turning lane when to make a turn.
How do traffic signals help traffic?
A traffic signals help cars get from one place to another without getting hurt. If there were no traffic signals people would not stop.

What makes the traffic light so important?
Traffic lights are important because they regulate traffic safely and make movement of traffic smoother and faster at intersections.
Are there intersections with traffic signals without left turn arrows?
Yes there are intersections without left-turn arrows. In fact I've been through about 100 different ones. They mainly appear on streets that don't have extremely busy intersections.
