Car Free Sunday applies to everyone, except for public transport, station taxis, buses, emergency, and security forces, provided with a legitimation, as well as for the diplomatic corps. Mopeds and street taxis must apply for an exemption from the municipalities. For more information on exceptional situations or cases requiring an exemption, click here.
Between 9.30am and 7pm. The closing and the re-opening of the entrances to the Region and the tunnels will happen gradually. Therefore, there might be some traffic nuisance outside these times. As a result of the activities and celebrations, the streets in certain neighborhoods might also be closed longer. So it is no use hurrying to the entrances to Brussels; this to avoid congestion and safety problems.
The STIB will provide free public transport! The service level will be reviewed with a considerable reinforcement on most of metro, tram and bus lines.
Use public transport as close to your home as possible.
Even on Car Free Sunday, some cars are permitted to drive.
An accident can happen very quickly. There is only one rule to respect in order to prevent disasters: comply with traffic regulations. In any case do not use the tunnels! While on your bike please take into account the traffic lights, traffic direction and priority rules! Mind your children, the place for pedestrians is the pavement!
