NVDB phase-A road-network lines within 5 km
Individual NVDB phase-A road-network segments clipped to a 5 km radius around the authorized project address, with GeoJSON linework for map display. The source classification does not independently verify active work at a particular site; this is not a project boundary or a complete record of works.
Status right now
Measured 3 Nov 2026. This is about the section as a whole, not one address: an address outside coverage still gets “not covered”, never “no”.
Available with: approved pilot customer and named section access

What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- This is NVDB phase-A road-network linework clipped to a 5 km radius around the saved address point. Phase A is the source classification; these lines do not independently verify active work at a site and are not a planning application, project boundary or complete works extent. NVDB has no project identifier, contractor, start date or completion date here. A record represents one road-network segment.
- GeoJSON geometry is EPSG:4326 and clipped to the 5 km radius. Long lines are simplified only as needed to fit a 1000-vertex per-feature limit; geometry_simplification_m reports 0, 5 or 25 metres. Do not use this display geometry for surveying, engineering clearance or proof that all works are included. A response is limited to 8 features per page; follow next_cursor for more.
- First-party project-context data only; this linework is not available through customer address API keys.
Provider-contract fields
9 of 18 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps.

This section is not part of the public demo projection. That is a licensing and privacy decision, not a sign the data is missing: it is served to customers granted the section.
