Traffic changes in and around Rue du Chêne

In order to guarantee the safety of the pedestrians, the Rue du Chêne, the Impasse du Val des Roses, and the Rue de l’Etuve (between 59-65/48-52) will become a restricted traffic zone from 25 April 2018. These streets are then accessible for local traffic with admission tickets.

Traffic between 4 am and 11 am

Between 4 am and 11 am, the streets remain accessible to local traffic. The maximum speed of 20 km/h must be respected. Pedestrians have priority over the entire width of the street. Cyclists, taxis and emergency services are allowed to drive 24 hours a day.

Traffic after 11 am

Residents and traders of the Rue du Chêne, the Impasse du Val des Roses, and the Rue de l’Etuve (between 59-65/48-52) can request an admission ticket to be allowed to drive through these streets after 11 am. That document must be placed under the windshield to drive in the restricted traffic zone.

Traffic direction changes

The Place de la Vieille Halle aux Blés, Rue de l’Escalier and Rue de Dinant are limited for local traffic and some traffic directions are changed (see map below in red).
