Low Emission Zone

The Low Emission Zone prohibits certain vehicles to drive in Brussels. The LEZ is applied all days of the week, 24 hours a day, on the entire territory of the Brussels Capital Region. The control of access to the Brussels’ low emission zone is based on the license plate number and the date of the first registration of the vehicle.
Check here if your vehicle can circulate within the LEZ.

If your vehicle can’t circulate within the LEZ, we recommend you to take the public transport. Or, park your car on one of the transit car parks and come for free to the KVS with your STIB Event pass.

New circulation plan!

On 16 August 2022, a new circulation plan was introduced in the Pentagon, the city centre of Brussels. This new circulation plan is the local implementation of Good Move, the mobility plan of the Brussels Capital Region. Not sure if you can still reach us via your familiar route? Take a look at the adjusted circulation plan here.
