Car Free Sunday in Brussels on September 22

On Sunday 22 September 2019, Brussels organizes its traditional Car Free Sunday. From 9:30 am till 7 pm, car traffic is not allowed in the Brussels Region, including the City of Brussels. The ban applies to all motorized vehicles (including LPG vehicles and electric vehicles with 2, 3 or 4 wheels).

Only urgent services, vehicles of public interest and persons with a pass can circulate in the zones where car traffic is forbidden.

pass can be delivered to individuals from 12 August 2019 to 13 September 2019 (at 12 am), for companies from 1 August 2019 to 13 September 2019 (at 12 am). Attention, this demand of dispensation must be duly motivated.

When is the Region ‘closed’?

Between 9.30am and 7pm. The closing and the re-opening of the entrances to the Region and the tunnels will happen gradually. Therefore, there might be some traffic nuisance outside these times. As a result of the activities and celebrations, the streets in certain neighbourhoods might also be closed longer. So it is no use hurrying to the entrances to Brussels; this to avoid congestion and safety problems.

What about public transport?

The STIB and The Lijn willen provide free public transport! The service level will be reviewed with a considerable reinforcement on most of metro, tram and bus lines.

Who is still allowed to drive around town?

Car Free Sunday applies to everyone, except for public transport, taxis, buses, emergency and security forces, provided with a legitimation, as well as for the diplomatic corps. The maximum speed is limited up to 30km/h everywhere.
