MBUX Navigation Mystery

Since getting my 2021 GLC300, on occasion, I see these white boxes/shapes appearing on the navigation screen (see below). It's obviously trying to convey information, but it isn't helpful unless you know what they mean.

Although I wouldn't swear by it, I think I see it only when navigating to a destination. The odd thing is that sometimes they appear on a street that I'm NOT actually driving on, but on an intersecting street. I've checked for similar queries on MB forum websites, and I DO see the same question, but none with responses. The dealer couldn't explain, and emails to MBUSA support went unanswered.


An example of white boxes paralleling the highlighted route.

They are construction zones.

They often appear as soon as their permitted by the Transportation Departments, which can be months before construction actually starts.

Thank you so much. At some point I suspected that might be the case because it did appear when a section WAS under construction. However, the subsequent times I saw it, there was no construction so I chalked it up to coincidence. Your explanation explains why that might have been the case.
