That is a reason I did not consider A. campestre before, but I looked at the last two images for the species on maplesociety.org. I haven't tried using their key, and don't know of any other comprehensive ones.

The key to maples given in https://maplesociety.org/species-list/vegetative-key-to-the-genus-acer/ has A. buergerianum in GROUP G (Acer, Ginnala, Indivisa, Oblonga, Pubescentia): Lamina unlobed or 0-3-lobed, 5-lobed laminas absent. This tree has 3-5 lobed leaves and I think it is Acer campestre; it matches some of the images in the vegetative scans (including the underside of the leaves which I can't add to this sighting).

I have updated the photo of fruit (samaras) showing how they are connected before they split and droop.
