find_roadworks_ahead
Read-onlyIdempotent
Returns roadworks PLANNED on one motorway, one Bundes-/Landesstraße in NI, SN, TH or BW, or Hamburg city streets by place, in a date window: section, restriction, dates. Use when a date or window is named, it says geplant, or how long a site lasts ("Baustellen auf der A7 in den Sommerferien?"). ONE road/place per call. Do NOT use when more than one motorway is named, for the situation this minute, or for Baustellen with neither date nor geplant — all three are check_autobahn_traffic; whether a road is open — check_road_status. ≤ 92 days, max 20 sites. Show attribution.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | No | Last day of the window, inclusive, as YYYY-MM-DD. Omit for 7 days after `from`, which is the right window for "am I going to hit roadworks on this drive". The window may span at most 92 days. For "how long will this last" / "wie lange dauert die Baustelle noch", leave both dates out: the default 7 days already returns the site's planned end date. Only widen — 28 days is the sensible step — when the person asked about a period that long. | |
| from | No | First day of the window, as YYYY-MM-DD in German local time. Omit for today. Resolve relative wording ("next Friday", "in den Sommerferien", "nächsten Monat") into real dates yourself, counted from today's date; this argument never takes words, and it never takes a fixed example date — the window a person means moves with the calendar. | |
| road | No | The road to look at, one per call: an Autobahn, e.g. "A7" or "A100", or a Bundesstraße, Landesstraße or Staatsstraße in Niedersachsen, Sachsen or Thüringen, e.g. "B6", "L1025", "S296" — "A7", "A 7" and "a7" are the same road. B and L roads in other Länder and Kreisstraßen are not covered. Ask again for a second road. Give road OR place. | |
| limit | No | Maximum sites to return (1–20, default 10), ordered by planned start. Every returned site is in the structured result; the readable text prints the first 10 and says how many more of them are in the structured half. The answer always names how many sites the window holds in total, so a small limit never hides the size of the problem. | |
| place | No | A place in Hamburg — a district, street or address, e.g. "Hamburg-Altona", "Wilhelmsburg", "Köhlbrandbrücke" — for the city's own roadworks (Bauweiser) within 3 km of it. Outside Hamburg, city roadworks are not held and the answer says so. Give road OR place. | |
| language | No | Set this on every call to the language the person is writing in: "en" if they wrote English, "de" if they wrote German. Do not leave it out: it defaults to German ("de"), which is only the fallback when the language is genuinely unclear, so an English question sent without it is answered in German — a wrong answer. Place names, station names and road numbers are never translated in either language; in English the German term is kept in parentheses so the person recognises it on signs and in local apps. | de |
