In this sentence, 'mean' denotes what kind of message or idea you are trying to convey. It doesn't mean someone being hateful to another person.
Try this:
Person 1- You cannot get to Conway Plaza from here.
P2- What do you mean? (what are you trying to tell me?)
P1- I mean (I am trying to tell you) this street you are on will not get you there. You need to take a different route.

Hotcakes, if you want to add something, DON'T post among the answers. As the OP you can post an Update, which will appear directly below your original question, where everyone who clicks on the question will see it.
In among the Answers it may be overlooked or ignored.
If you really don't understand the words "mean" or "convey", I suggest you wait a while and work on your English before posting here again.
To post an Update, just click on "Edit" and do what it says.

What is it that you are trying to inform us about, exactly. It is a way to ask for a better declaration of what idea you are trying to give us. What do you mean? (it makes no sense to me, so try again and use words that, together, make clear sense).
Can sometimes be used in jest (ironically), to say "hey, that is obvious buddy, you don't need to say it".
