Traffic lights sequence, that is turn red and green so that if you are driving at a certain safe speed, you can drive for miles, getting green lights just before entering each intersecion along the way.
This also allows a greater number of vehicles to travel through, lessening the chance of bumper-to-bumper traffic slowdowns.

Primarily, the purpose is simply to facilitate the safe movement of cars, avoiding collisions. In some cases, however, it seems the purpose is to "catch" some not cautious motorists and sock them with traffic tickets and fines to raise money for government.
The latter goal is obvious when the private companies that install the lights at local government invitation are paid by receiving a share of the fines.
It is foolish, but too common, that some people try to rush through changing lights, causing danger. Rarely are we on such urgent missions that any such risk is justified.
The goal of all of us should be personal safety, avoidance of personal danger and property damage, with the orderly movement of traffic - not revenue-raising entrapment.
Common sense cooperation is the best way to accomplish the best purposes and avoid the other.

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.

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.
