47. Traffic mirror
A traffic mirror is a convex mirror installed near an intersection, driveway, bend or other location with restricted visibility. Its curved surface provides a wider view of approaching road users than an ordinary flat mirror.
A traffic mirror is only a visibility aid. It may distort distance, speed and direction and may be affected by darkness, weather, dirt or damage. Drivers must continue to observe the road directly, obey all priority rules and proceed only when it is safe.

Is a traffic mirror an official Belgian traffic sign?
No. A traffic mirror is roadside equipment and does not have its own numbered sign or regulatory meaning in the Belgian Highway Code.
Does a Belgian traffic mirror change priority?
No. Drivers must continue to follow B1, B5, traffic lights, priority from the right and every other applicable priority rule.
Does the mirror establish a recommended speed?
No. The applicable speed limit remains in force, but drivers must adapt their speed to the restricted visibility and remain able to stop safely.
