Those who decide to travel in Belgium will hardly move away from the motorway section, almost 1800 km long. Considering the extension of the country, it is the densest network in the whole world!

Not only. In addition to being extensive, and particularly efficient, the motorway is free!

The letter A, followed by the numbers, indicates that you are in the presence of the motorway.
The highway signs have white characters on BLUE BACKGROUND.

Then there are the tangential highways called RINGS and indicated by the letter R followed by a sequential number, starting from 0. They are ring motorways that cross the main cities like Brussels, Antwerp, Charleroi.

On extra-urban and urban roads, maximum caution is encouraged. Belgium is, notoriously, one of the countries where there is a high rate of accidents !!!
