A new analysis by the traffic institute VIAS based on the police accident database reveals a worrying trend: 8 out of 10 road deaths in Belgium are men.

The low-emission zones (LEZ) in Flanders seem to be on the way out. Where Antwerp and Ghent were once pioneers in reducing polluting vehicles, the rules are now being relaxed, and in Ghent they are even considering abolishing the LEZ altogether.

Despite their protective function, crash attenuators are involved in several serious accidents each year. This shows how risky mobile traffic situations can be, even with the presence of these safety measures.

Speeding is familiar territory for many motorists, but those who thought that only driving too fast is punishable are mistaken. Driving too slowly can also lead to a fine, especially when it hinders other road users.

From 1 September, a lot will change in Flanders, with new rules and tariff adjustments that will have an impact on drivers, commuters and companies.

The festivities will last ten days and nights, without international stars or fireworks, but with an impressive number of 150.000 visitors per day.

De Lijn has completed a major renovation and optimization project for the Coastal Tram in Zeebrugge, just in time for the summer holidays. Travelers can now discover the new stops and tracks.

In collaboration with the organizers of Graspop, De Lijn ensures an environmentally friendly and efficient way of traveling between Mol station and the festival site.

This bankruptcy marks the end of a 25-year battle for the legacy of founder Bernard Van Hool, and it is now clear that nothing remains of that legacy.

Taxi drivers in Flanders will have one year longer to meet the Dutch language requirement. The original deadline, set for June 2024, has now been extended to June 2025.

According to Flemish Minister of Mobility, Lydia Peeters, and Ann Schoubs, director general of De Lijn, 89% of the network has now been adapted to the principles of this new vision.

An apparently normal bus trip from France to Belgium turned into a tense police action on Thursday morning when the East Flanders Federal Road Police pulled over a FlixBus after alarming information about possible terrorist plans.

Vias estimates that nearly 1.000 highway accidents each year are due to insufficient safety distances, which not only causes personal suffering but also causes traffic jams and broader mobility problems.

It is incomprehensible that in a city like Ghent, while there is a terror threat level, vehicles, including taxis and pizza delivery scooters, drive around unhindered in areas densely populated with visitors to the Winter Festivities.

From January 6, 2024, public transport in the Limburg Transport Region will undergo a major change. The implementation of Hoppin, which should be a groundbreaking initiative by the Flemish government.

By making it possible to convert existing vehicles to electric or hydrogen fuel cell powertrains, an alternative to purchasing entirely new electric vehicles is provided.

“Every year we make an average of 125 intersections maximally conflict-free, which is one intersection every three days,” said Lydia Peeters.

The introduction of this sign was already implemented in the Belgian highway code last year, which indicates that the idea of ​​flexible parking is receiving increasing attention at the federal level. This means that Ghent is leading the way in the practical application of this innovation.

In Flanders it appears possible to escape administrative fines, better known as GAS fines, for minor speeding offences.

Critics point to the fact that the rainbow zebra crossings do not meet the strict conditions of the traffic law, such as Article 76.3, which states that an official pedestrian crossing must be demarcated by white tires.

The call has a total budget of two million euros, co-financed by the Flemish Climate Fund. The maximum subsidy per project is 300.000 euros, and expenses are reimbursed up to 40%.
