As of today, the Belgian municipalities of Steenokkerzeel, Kampenhout, Kortenberg, and Herent, located in the province of Flemish Brabant east of Brussels, have implemented a common route system for HGV transit traffic. This involves the introduction of a tonnage restriction of up to 3.5 tonnes, as reported by the Belgian hauliers’ organisation Febetra.
From 4 November, transit traffic of heavy goods vehicles will only be permitted on the following main roads:
- Haachtsesteenweg (N21)
- Tervuursesteenweg (N227)
- Brusselsesteenweg (N2)
- Leuvense-/Mechelsesteenweg (N26)
The new system applies only to vehicles intended for the carriage of goods in transit. Local traffic (e.g. deliveries) remains permitted at all times, even if it exceeds 3.5 tonnes.
