Q: What is the speed limit for mopeds (class B, bromfiets/cyclomoteur) in Belgium?

45 km/h. Class B mopeds (bromfiets klasse B/cyclomoteur classe B) in Belgium have a maximum speed of 45 km/h.

Q: What must you do when approaching a zone 30 sign in Belgium?

Reduce speed to 30 km/h or below. Upon entering a zone 30, you must reduce your speed to 30 km/h or below and maintain it until you leave the zone.

Q: What is the purpose of a residential area sign (white background with a house, car, child, and ball) in Belgium?

Speed is limited to 20 km/h and pedestrians may use the full width of the road. In a residential area (woonerf), the speed limit is 20 km/h and pedestrians have priority across the entire road. Walking pace (stapvoets) applies to play streets (speelstraat), not to woonerven.

Q: What does a speed limit sign with a red circle containing "50" followed by an end-of-zone sign mean?

The default speed limit for that road type applies again. When a speed limit zone ends, the default speed limit for that road type applies (e.g., 50 km/h in built-up areas, 70 km/h in Flanders outside built-up areas).

Q: What is the maximum speed on a Belgian expressway (weg voor automobielen/route pour automobiles) with 2x2 lanes?

120 km/h. Belgian expressways with at least 2x2 lanes separated by a central reservation have a maximum speed of 120 km/h, the same as motorways.

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.
