Who is still allowed to drive around town?

Car Free Sunday applies to everyone, except for public transport, taxis, buses, emergency, and security forces, provided with a legitimation, as well as for the diplomatic corps. Mopeds and vehicles with TL plates must apply for an exemption from the municipalities. For more information on exceptional situations or cases requiring an exemption, click here.

When is the Region 'closed'?

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.

What about public transport?

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.
