The decision to reverse the one-way traffic system introduced in 2023 has sparked interest across Brussels. This change affects the circulation plan Good Move, a notable initiative by the previous city administration aimed at reducing through traffic on Louizalaan. On 2025-06-20 07:03:00, the new municipal council approved a redesign that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists, transforming the area into a more welcoming public space.
- Eenrichtingsverkeer 2023 wordt teruggedraaid
- Circulatieplan Good Move deels ongedaan gemaakt
- Doorgaand verkeer richting Louizalaan vermeden
- Plein wordt ontmoetingszone met voorrang fietsers
- Maximumsnelheid verlaagd naar 20 km/u
- Weg blijft zondag gesloten voor verkeer
With this update, the square will become a meeting zone where the speed limit drops to 20 km/h, and traffic restrictions will apply more flexibly. But what does this mean for local commuters and residents? How will the changes impact daily mobility and urban life in the city?
These questions lead US to explore the key aspects of the new traffic plan and its implications for the community.
Why is the city rolling back a measure designed to reduce traffic? The shift reflects a balance between traffic flow and creating safer, more livable urban spaces. Key points include:
- Restoring two-way traffic to ease local access and reduce detours.
- Introducing a meeting zone prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists.
- Maintaining Sunday closures and considering similar restrictions on other days after evaluation.
- Lowering speed limits to enhance safety and encourage sustainable transport.
As Brussels continues to refine its traffic policies, residents and visitors alike should stay informed and participate in consultations. Will this new approach encourage more sustainable travel habits? Only time will tell, but the city’s commitment to pedestrian-friendly spaces is clear.
