Driving Tips for Brussels
Experience Brussels like a local with these driving tips:
- Trams: Always give way to light rail trains—known as trams in Brussels—and keep in mind that it takes them longer to brake due to their overall weight.
- Buses: If a bus is at a stop and turns its indicator light on, you must wait for the bus to leave. Passing is strictly prohibited.
- Speed limits: Expect speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph) and up to 120 km/h (74 mph) on an expressway with a divider.
- Parking: Much of Brussels’ city center is a pedestrian-only zone; however, there are seven free park-and-ride lots outside the city center. Simply park your rental car and take the bus, metro, or tram into the city center.
- Tunnels: You must turn on your headlights in all tunnels.
- No Entry: No entry signs in Brussels have a red circle around a picture of the type of vehicle that isn’t allowed to enter the street, area, or tunnel.
