This page gives an overview of speed limits in Belgium. This overview is for informational purposes only.
When a road sign indicates a speed limit, the general rule - shown below - no longer applies. An exception to this is the traffic sign C43 with the indication "90" on certain road types in the Flemish Region. Certain vehicle-specific speed restrictions continue to apply with this sign. That is why this situation is included in the table below.
Within built-up areas: 30 km/h
Outside built-up areas:
MAM ≤ 3,5t | 3,5t < MAM ≤ 7,5t | Buses & coaches | MAM > 7,5t except buses & coaches | |
Motorways | 120* | 90 | 90/100 | 90 |
Roads with at least 2 lanes per direction, with physically separated driving directions | 120 | 90 | 90 | 90 |
Roads with at least 2 lanes per direction, with driving directions separated by road markings | 70 | 70 | 70 | 70 |
Other roads | 70 | 70 | 70 | 60 |
* The general speed limit of 120 km/h for vehicles whose MAM is less than or equal to 3.5 tonnes is practically never applied in the Brussels Capital Region, because a lower speed limit is imposed by road signs almost everywhere.
