Navigation Screen Symbols Defined, Please

On our 2010 C-Class 300, there are several icons that show up at times on the Nav display even if Nav is not routing our trip. Does anyone know what the following icons mean. There is nothing in either manual. A set of 3 icons arranged in a triangle shape. Each resembling a house seen in 3-D. These will appear on the road trace. Along the freeway map, continuous line of truck icons. Sometimes they're red other times yellow.
No one I've asked at the dealership has a clue.

Thanks

The three houses icon i've seen before. I think it means housing development or cluster. I try to look around and see what there is to be seen when i see these icons, and that's what I've come up with. Truck icons, I've never seen that.

I've never seen the truck icon but I have seen the three houses. No idea what it means I once saw it in the middle of a cemetery and once in a malls parking lot.

I'll take some pictures today and try to correlate them with the surroundings. One are where I've seen the three houses is where there is a church and a strip mall.
Pics to come

The yellow and red cars on the highways are traffic congestion symbols - yellow for slowed traffic, red for accidents, blocked lanes, etc. Notice how highway lanes are highlighted in green (no traffic problems) in the absence of the yellow and red cars?

I don't think we have real time traffic available. If its part of the Tele-Aid subscription plan than we should have it but I'm not sure how to verify that it's active. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Here's a picture of the nav screen in our 2010 C300 showing the icon of 3 houses. Does anyone know what they mean?
Thanks
