-
find_traffic_points– Find traffic registration points (trafikkregistreringspunkt) - the physical counting stations on Norwegian roads that this server's other traffic tools read from. Search by name, spatially around a coordinate, or both; all filters combine.
HTML GET template -
get_traffic_volume– Get recent hourly traffic volume for a registration point - the closest thing to real-time traffic counts Vegvesen publishes (data typically lags an hour or so behind the clock).
HTML GET template -
get_average_daily_traffic– Get yearly average daily traffic (AADT / "ÅDT") for a registration point - the standard measure of how busy a road is, averaged over a full year to smooth out seasonal and day-of-week swings.
HTML GET template -
list_road_object_types– List NVDB road object types (vegobjekttyper) - the ~400 categories of things recorded against the road network, e.g. speed limits, tunnels, bridges, guardrails, traffic signs.
HTML GET template -
search_road_objects– Search NVDB for road objects of one type, e.g. all speed limit signs in a county, or all tunnels on a given road.
HTML GET template -
get_road_at_point– Find the road network reference nearest a coordinate - the road-network equivalent of reverse geocoding an address.
HTML GET template -
get_traffic_messages– Get traffic messages (veimeldinger) from Vegvesen's DATEX II feed - roadworks, road closures, incidents, ferry disruptions, reduced speed and lane restrictions on Norwegian roads. Newest first.

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.
How to use Norwegian Public Roads Administration
Traffic counts, annual traffic, road objects, road references and current traffic messages. Choose a search lookup first when you lack an identifier; use a detail lookup when you already have a stable ID.
- Read requirements, cache time and known usage limits.
- Open the lookup and use the HTML GET template.
- Follow normalized result links onward; use JSON only for structured data work.
