Alors évidemment, parfois, pendant qu’on est en train de passer au vert, le feu, lui passe à l’orange.

So, obviously, sometimes while we're driving through a green light, it turns orange.

Yes, Wendy. Again on = les conducteurs.
In fact we can use the same verb "passer" both for the drivers and for the traffic lights.
On (le conducteur) passe au vert, le feu passe à l'orange.

Again, I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that it is to do with us driving through while it's still green, but as we do so the traffic light turns orange.
Then the next sentence in the next unit makes sense.
