Block the route at player speed
Start with a graybox and drive it from the actual chase camera. Mark the first frame where each turn, approach, and obstacle can be understood. If a corner surprises a player at full throttle, adjust its sightline or put a recognizable signal earlier on the route.
Light the decisions
Give a district a few recognizable landmarks before dressing individual surfaces. Preview the route in dark and bright lighting, then in motion. When a reflection, effect, or sign draws attention away from the next turn, lower its contrast or move it behind the decision.
