Description
The section of highway 280 on the right most portion of the screen has very frequent placement of the highway icon. This is possible related to the style, but it hasnt' been possible to pitch so high in the past, which means distance between placements might need to take into account screen space distance or terrain/slope along which the symbols are being placed. Zooming in and out slowly also shows a lot more symbol flickering than seems warranted.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shield placement and flickering at the terrain-debug.html URL, focusing on highway 280 at the supplied pitch and zoom. Trace the terrain-aware symbol placement and collision behavior; done means shield spacing remains reasonable at high pitch and zooming no longer causes excessive flickering.
