About Traffic rules

Traffic rules is an initiative of Vias institute and the Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport. This platform bundles the traffic regulations, relevant traffic legislation, and related explanations, making them easily, and clearly accessible to the general public. On behalf of the FPS Mobility and Transport, Vias institute manages the website and continuously keeps it up to date with the latest legislative changes. Traffic rules aims to present traffic regulations in a clear and structured manner.

Vias institute is an independent knowledge institute dedicated to improving road safety, mobility, and societal safety. It is primarily known to the general public as the driving force behind the BOB campaigns against alcohol in traffic and for providing insights to the media on current traffic and mobility events.

The team

The team currently managing the website trafficrules.be consists of:

Philip Road Safety Expert	Fiorine Road Safety and Mobility Advisor	Jonathan Road Safety and Mobility Advisor

We are responsible for the content and design of the website and, together with the marketing team, handle communication, such as newsletters and social media posts.

Where does the content come from?

The various regulations on Traffic rules are taken directly from the Belgian official journal, where both federal and regional legislation is published. Thanks to daily monitoring of the Belgian official journal, the website's content is constantly updated, ensuring that new or amended regulations are made available as quickly as possible.

Although the regulations on this website are taken directly from the Belgian Official Gazette, only the publications in the Belgian official journal are legally valid.

The pages with explanations on various aspects of traffic regulations are based on publications, brochures, and briefings from Vias institute, which are grounded in scientific and legal research.
