Q: A pedestrian is waiting at the edge of a zebra crossing and is clearly about to cross. What must you do?

Slow down and stop to let the pedestrian cross. At a zebra crossing without traffic lights or a police officer you must approach at moderate speed and give way not only to pedestrians already on the crossing but also to those about to step onto it (Highway Code art. 40.4.2). Stop if that is what it takes.

Q: What is the general speed limit in urban areas in Belgium?

50 km/h. The general speed limit in Belgian urban areas is 50 km/h, unless otherwise indicated.

Q: What is the default speed limit on rural roads in Flanders?

70 km/h. In Flanders, the default speed limit on roads outside built-up areas is 70 km/h, unlike Wallonia where it is 90 km/h.

Q: What is the maximum speed limit on Belgian motorways?

120 km/h. The maximum speed limit on Belgian motorways is 120 km/h for cars.

Q: What does "priority from the right" (voorrang van rechts) mean in Belgium?

Traffic coming from the right has priority at uncontrolled intersections. Priority from the right means that at intersections without traffic signs or signals, you must give way to traffic approaching from the right.

Q: What are the speed limits in Belgium?

Built-up areas: the legal default is 50 km/h in both Flanders and Wallonia. Flanders recommends 30 km/h for residential areas and many municipalities have adopted local zone-30 ordinances, but 50 km/h applies unless posted otherwise. Brussels enforces 30 km/h city-wide since 2021. Outside built-up areas: 70 km/h (Flanders), 70-90 km/h (Wallonia). Dual carriageways: 120 km/h. Motorways: 120 km/h. Always check posted signs — they take precedence over default limits.

Q: What is the blood alcohol limit in Belgium?

General limit: 0.05% BAC (0.5 g/L blood). Professional drivers (buses, trucks, taxis): 0.02% BAC since 2015. Fines: EUR 179 for 0.05-0.08%, EUR 420+ for 0.08-0.12%, EUR 1,200+ above 0.12% with licence withdrawal. Immediate 3-6 hour driving ban on the spot.

FAQ

How much does a driving licence cost in Belgium?

It depends on your training path. With filiere libre (free guide): approximately EUR 100-300 total (theory exam ~EUR 15, provisional licence ~EUR 30, practical exam ~EUR 36, licence issuance ~EUR 25). With a driving school (auto-ecole/rijschool): EUR 1,100-1,950 total including the school package (EUR 1,000-1,800). Prices vary by region.

What is the Belgian theory test format?

50 multiple-choice questions on a touchscreen computer at a GOCA exam centre. You have approximately 25 minutes. You must answer at least 41 correctly (82%) to pass. Topics include traffic signs, priority rules, speed limits, alcohol regulations, and hazard perception. Available in French, Dutch, German, and English. Fee: ~EUR 15 per attempt. Theory certificate valid for 3 years.

What is the filiere libre system?

The filiere libre (free guide / vrije begeleiding) allows you to learn to drive with a personal guide instead of a professional driving school. Your guide must hold a B licence for at least 8 years and not have had their licence withdrawn in the past 3 years. You receive a 36-month provisional licence (vs 18 months with a driving school). It is significantly cheaper: just exam and administrative fees instead of EUR 1,000+ for a school.
