Answer

The sign indicates the remaining distance in miles to the specified city destination.
Green signs with white lettering are standard guide signs used throughout highway networks to inform drivers of directional routes, upcoming exits, and the distance in miles to listed destinations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify sign color and shape
Green background with white text in a rectangular format indicates a guide/informational sign.
Traffic sign color coding assigns green to directional guidance, destinations, and distance indicators.
2
Interpret textual and numerical content
The text 'SPRINGFIELD 12' pairs a destination name with a numeric distance value in miles.
Standard highway conventions state that a number following a destination name on a green guide sign shows distance to that city center or exit.
