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.
- Straight-line EPSG:25833 distances to traffic sensors within 5 km. No driving distance and no road-relevance guarantee.
- This is the identity-and-distance list; the sensors' own observations are in the traffic section, computed from the same match.
Fields
2 of 3 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
| Field | Type | Role | Demo |
|---|---|---|---|
| sensor_id | string | null | context | open |
| sensor_name | string | null | value | open |
| straight_line_distance_m | integer | null (m) | value | open |
