Speed limits in Belgium
Informational sign at the Flemish borders.
Informational sign at the Walloon borders.
The general speed limits in Belgium are as follows:
- 50 km/h (31 mph) within built-up areas;
- 70 km/h (43 mph) outside built-up areas in the Flemish Region1;
- 90 km/h (56 mph) outside built-up areas in the Wallonia region and the Brussels-Capital Region;
- 120 km/h (75 mph) on roads with at least two two-lane roadways separated by a median, and on freeways.
- ^ Since 1 January 2017.
The limits shown above apply only if there are no other signs present, as the signs may prescribe a lower or a higher speed limit. The speed limit outside built-up areas in the Wallonia region can be restricted to 70 km/h, as well as the posted speed limit outside built-up areas in the Flemish Region can be 90 km/h. Around almost all schools, 30 km/h (19 mph) zones are found.
Especially in Flanders, the speed limit on roads with at least two two-lane roadways separated by a median is very often reduced to a maximum of 90 km/h (sometimes even to 70 km/h), where they would be 120 km/h without any traffic sign.
