- Belgium has gradually developed from a unitary state to a federal state. Following a 6th round of state reforms, the power and responsibility to set speed limits has been handed over from the federal government to the autonomous regional governments. Since 2017 different general speed limits apply for different regions. Not having the same speed limit applied to the whole country is a unique situation in Europe. Speed limits in Belgium are as follows:
* 30 km/h (19 mph) in the entire Brussels-Capital Region, with the exception of certain main axes with dedicated higher speed limitation panels
* 50 km/h (31 mph) within built-up areas;
* 70 km/h (43 mph) outside built-up areas in the Flemish Region and Brussels-Capital Region;
* 90 km/h (56 mph) outside built-up areas in the Wallonia region;
* 120 km/h (75 mph) on roads with at least two two-lane roadways separated by a median, and on freeways. 1.
* Since 1 January 2017. The limits shown above apply only if there are no other signs present, as the signs may prescribe a lower or a higher speed limit. The speed limit outside built-up areas in the Wallonia region can be restricted to 70 km/h, as well as the posted speed limit outside built-up areas in the Flemish Region can be 90 km/h. Around almost all schools, 30 km/h (19 mph) zones are found. (en)
