Wallonia is also taking a position on the question!

While Flanders, in consultation with the Brussels Region, has just announced that the maximum authorized speed will increase from 120 to 100 km / h, from September 1, on its section of the Brussels Ring, Wallonia is still leaning towards a dynamic management of traffic on the fifteen kilometers of the Ring that are on its territory, we said Friday afternoon in the office of the regional minister in charge of Road Safety, Valérie De Bue.

According to Minister De Bue, the Walloon part of the ring has a real motorway structure, which tilts the balance in favor of a progressive reduction in speed limits according to the density of traffic, “and therefore dynamic traffic management ”.

On Friday, the Flemish Minister for Mobility, Lydia Peeters, announced that the reduction of the maximum speed allowed on the Flemish section of the Brussels Ring, from 120 to 100 km / h, would come into force on September 1. A decision welcomed by his Brussels counterpart, Elke Van den Brandt, who assured that the same measure would apply to the section managed by the Capital Region. Wallonia was not consulted. “We have never been contacted even if on other files, things are going well,” it said at the cabinet De Bue.

With a total length of 75 km, the Brussels ring is shared between the country’s 3 Regions, Brussels managing 5.5 km, Wallonia fifteen – where speed is mainly limited to 120 km / h – and the rest incumbent on Flanders.
