The purpose is to provide a uniform set of standards under which everyone can avoid accidents. By mandating the cross patterns, heading negotiations, and other nautical negotiations it can be anticipated what an oncoming boat will do while negotiating the passage. Additionally by knowing what path you and the boat approaching will take while able to see eachother, you will be able to negotiate the same maneuvers at night when navigating solely by port starboard and anchor lights.
