I means that the following signals are set so that by traveling at a steady 30 mph, from one green light, a driver is, likely to hit all green lights for the next several intersections.
The length of the yellow lights is determined by the posted speed limit. They are set to make sure that if a driver sees the yellow light, he, either, has plenty of time and room to stop, or, can, safely pass through the intersection before cross traffic gets a green light.

Wait a minute. You are living in Orlando, FL and you can read a traffic sign in California? You have fantastic eyesight - congratulations!
The sign means that if you catch a green light and drive at 30 mph, you should be able to drive through consecutive green lights along the road.
If you try to drive 35 mph or higher, you will overrun the timing sequence and soon, encounter a red light. If you drive 25 mph or slower, you'll underrun the timing sequence, and more red lights.
Don't try to drive at 60 mph and hope that twice the 30 mph will work. You'll probably get nailed by a cop.

Since the light you are waiting for does not turn green until the other direction turns red, there should not be a problem. Where I live, both directions are red for about two seconds before it turns green. makes it hard to say you were on a yellow light and in an accident. Signals being set for a certain speed means that going at that speed will allow you continuous green lights.

What this means is if you catch a green light on the street, if you drive the set speed you will catch all green lights!
