1. Parking zone
A parking zone is an area where a particular parking rule applies throughout a group of streets or a defined district rather than only at a single parking place. The applicable rule may regulate whether parking is allowed, how long vehicles may remain parked, which vehicles may park or whether payment or a parking permit is required.
The beginning and end of a parking zone are normally indicated by zone signs. Drivers should check the information shown at the entrance because the parking conditions may continue to apply throughout the zone without being repeated on every street.
Can parking rules apply to an entire zone in Belgium?
Yes. Belgian parking signs can be given zonal validity, meaning that the indicated parking regulation applies throughout the designated zone.
Does a Belgian parking-zone rule end at the next intersection?
No. A parking rule with zonal validity continues throughout the designated zone and does not automatically end at the next intersection. It normally remains applicable until the end of the zone.
Can a different parking rule apply inside a Belgian parking zone?
Yes. A different parking regulation indicated by traffic signs or markings at a particular location can apply there instead of the general parking rule for the surrounding zone.
