163. 車幅灯
車幅灯(position lights)は、車両の存在とおおよその幅を示し、見えやすくする低輝度灯火です。ロービームやハイビームと異なり、夜間の通常走行に必要な距離まで道路を照らすものではありません。
他の灯火と一緒に使用されるのが一般的で、暗い場所で停止・駐車中の車両を見えやすくするためにも使われます。必要な使用条件は国の交通規則によります。
Can you drive at night using only side lights in Belgium?
No. When vehicle lighting is required while driving, a motor vehicle must use dipped-beam or high-beam headlights at the front and the required red lights at the rear. Side lights alone are therefore not sufficient for normal night driving.
When are side lights used on a parked vehicle in Belgium?
Between nightfall and daybreak, and when visibility is reduced to less than approximately 200 metres, a stationary or parked motor vehicle must use the prescribed position and rear lights when public lighting does not make the vehicle clearly visible from approximately 100 metres.
Can parking lights replace side lights on a parked vehicle in Belgium?
Yes, under certain conditions within built-up areas. When the vehicle is parked parallel to the road and has no trailer attached, its position and rear lights may be replaced by a parking light on the side facing the centre of the carriageway.
