Bruselas
1. Tráfico local
El tráfico local es el tráfico que necesita acceder a una calle o zona concreta porque su viaje comienza, termina o requiere una parada allí, en lugar de limitarse a atravesarla. Las carreteras pueden estar restringidas al tráfico local para reducir el tráfico de paso innecesario.
El significado exacto depende de las normas nacionales. Suele incluir residentes, visitantes, repartos y vehículos que prestan servicios dentro de la zona restringida.
Who counts as local traffic in Belgium?
Local traffic includes vehicles belonging to residents and their visitors, including vehicles making deliveries. It also includes regular public transport, qualifying maintenance and supervision vehicles, priority vehicles, cyclists and horse riders.
May you use a Belgian road marked 'Except local traffic' simply as a shortcut?
No. The exception is intended for traffic that falls within the legal definition of local traffic. Drivers who are merely passing through without a qualifying local purpose cannot use the road simply as a shortcut.
Are cyclists allowed on roads restricted to local traffic in Belgium?
Yes. Cyclists are explicitly included in the Belgian definition of local traffic and may therefore use roads where access is otherwise restricted to local traffic.
