It's for situations when you are observing incoming traffic to evaluate opportunities to safely cross paths with it:

The notion behind front brake lights is deceptively simple. By signaling to oncoming traffic and vehicles approaching from the side, a front brake light provides an essential visual cue that a car is slowing down or preparing to stop. When the light is extinguished, it indicates that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement.
