Порада інструктора
“From January 2026, Euro 5 diesel cars (mostly 2011-2015 models) and Euro 2 petrol cars cannot enter the Brussels LEZ covering all 19 municipalities. A warning letter comes first, then €350 fines every 3 months. Nearly 400,000 vehicles across Belgium are affected. Brussels aims to ban all diesel by 2030.”
Complete Highway Code Rewrite with 45+ New Signs
Чинне з 1 вересня 2026 р.
50-year-old Highway Code
Belgium's road code had been in place for nearly 50 years with incremental updates
Modernized code with new rules
Complete rewrite: square green for cyclists/pedestrians at intersections, cyclists can pass stationary traffic, motorcyclists may use emergency lane in jams, perpendicular parking only when signed, 45+ new traffic signs

Порада інструктора
“Belgium's biggest road rule change in 50 years arrives September 2026. Key points: cyclists and pedestrians get "square green" at some intersections (cross in all directions simultaneously), perpendicular parking is only allowed when explicitly signed, and motorcyclists can use the emergency lane in traffic jams under strict conditions. Learn the 45+ new signs.”
All Flanders Speed Cameras Permanently Active
Чинне з 1 січня 2026 р.
Intermittent camera operation
Many speed cameras in Flanders operated only part-time or were inactive
All cameras permanent 24/7
Every speed camera in Flanders now operates permanently; fine management shifted to regional control
Офіційне джерело: Flemish Government Traffic Safety
Порада інструктора
“All speed cameras in Flanders are now active 24/7 - no more guessing which ones are on. Remember that Flanders has a default 70 km/h limit outside built-up areas (vs 90 km/h in Wallonia). Fines start at €53 and can reach €4,000.”
EU GSR2 Phase 3: Advanced Driver Distraction Warning
Чинне з 7 липня 2026 р.
Basic ADAS only
Since July 2024, new cars required basic systems including AEB, ISA, lane-keeping, and drowsiness warning
Camera-based distraction monitoring
All new cars must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with camera monitoring to detect phone use or inattention
Офіційне джерело: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Порада інструктора
“GSR2 Phase 3 adds camera-based distraction monitoring from July 2026. Combined with ISA (already mandatory since 2024), your car increasingly assists and monitors your driving. Know how these systems work for your theory exam.”

Re: Regional Speed Limit Differences Remain
Порада інструктора
“Belgium's three regions have different speed rules. Flanders: 70 km/h default outside towns. Wallonia: 90 km/h. Brussels: 30 km/h in most areas. Motorways are 120 km/h everywhere. Always check which region you're in - the border isn't always obvious.”
