Traffic rules
Belgium
1. Equestrian trail
An equestrian trail is a designated route intended primarily for horse riders. It may follow forest paths, rural tracks, bridleways or other routes where horseback riding is permitted or encouraged.
Equestrian trails may be identified by horse-rider symbols, direction markers or route signs. Other road users using or crossing the trail should take particular care around horses and avoid actions that could frighten them.
Which Belgian sign indicates a mandatory equestrian trail?
The Belgian D13 sign indicates a mandatory route for horse riders.
Can riders use the full width of a Belgian reserved road?
On Belgian roads signed F99c, Article 22octies allows pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and speed-pedelec riders to use the full width, without unnecessarily obstructing traffic or endangering others. Do not extend that rule to every F99 layout: where F99b allocates separate parts to different users, Article 22quinquies requires users to follow their assigned part, with only the stated conditional access to the other part.
