Hey everyone!<\/p>\n
I’m building an open-source web app that analyzes cycling routes from GPX files and identifies roadworks\/construction zones along the path. The goal is to help cyclists avoid unexpected road closures and get suggested detours for a smoother ride.<\/p>\n
Currently, I have integrated APIs for: – Belgium<\/strong>: GIPOD (Flanders region) – Netherlands<\/strong>: NDW (National road network) – France<\/strong>: Bison Fut\u00e9 + Paris OpenData – UK<\/strong>: StreetManager<\/p>\n I’m looking for similar APIs or open data sources for other countries\/regions<\/strong>, particularly: – Germany, Austria, Switzerland (popular cycling destinations) – Spain, Portugal, Italy – Denmark, Sweden, Norway – Any other countries with cycling-friendly open data<\/p>\n What I need:<\/strong> – APIs that provide roadworks\/construction data with geographic coordinates – Preferably with date ranges (start\/end dates for construction) – Polygon\/boundary data is ideal, but point data works too – Free\/open access (this is a non-commercial project)<\/p>\n Secondary option:<\/strong> I’m also considering OpenStreetMap (OSM)<\/strong> as a supplementary data source using the Overpass API to query Any leads on government open data portals, transportation department APIs, or even unofficial data sources would be hugely appreciated! \ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n Edit<\/strong>: Also interested in any APIs for bike lane closures, temporary cycling restrictions, or cycling-specific infrastructure updates if anyone knows of such sources!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n submitted by \/u\/JayQueue77 <\/a> highway=construction<\/code> and temporary:access<\/code> tags, but OSM has limitations for real-time roadworks (updates can be slow, community-dependent, and OSM recommends only tagging construction lasting 6+ months). So while OSM could help fill gaps, government\/official APIs are still preferred<\/strong> for accurate, up-to-date roadworks data.<\/p>\n
