Speed limits in Belgium

Informational sign at the Belgian borders.

The general speed limits in Belgium are as follows:

50 km/h (31 mph) within built-up areas;
70 km/h (43 mph) outside built-up areas in Flemish Region (since 01 January 2017)
90 km/h (56 mph) outside built-up areas in Wallonia region, Brussels-Capital Region
120 km/h (75 mph) on roads with at least two two-lane roadways separated by a median, and on freeways.

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 is in many places, especially in the Flemish Region, restricted to 70 km/h (43 mph). Around almost all schools, 30 km/h (19 mph) zones are found.
