# Road-disruption events - France (DATEX II, Bison Fute)

`GET /api/v2/transport/road/events`

Current road-disruption events on the French non-concessioned national road network - closures, roadworks, obstructions, accidents and weather-related road conditions - from the Bison Fute open DATEX II feed. Filter by category, weather-related, or bounding box. France non-concessioned national roads only (not tolled motorways, not local roads); informational, not an official traffic advisory.

## Query parameters

- `category` string, nullable — DATEX II record class, e.g. Accident, MaintenanceWorks, EnvironmentalObstruction.
- `weather_related` boolean, nullable — Keep only events whose DATEX II situation type (class or subtype) is weather or environment. Detection is by situation type; this feed does not use DATEX cause elements.
- `min_lat` number, nullable — Bounding-box south edge.
- `max_lat` number, nullable — Bounding-box north edge.
- `min_lon` number, nullable — Bounding-box west edge.
- `max_lon` number, nullable — Bounding-box east edge.
- `limit` integer — Maximum events returned.
