Travelling to or through Belgium?

Then be aware of the following information received from FICC

Dear FICC members,

From 2017, the current speed limit of 90 km/h on regional roads outside built-up areas in Flanders will be the exception rather than the rule.  Unlike most other European countries and, more importantly, in contrast to Wallonia, from 1 January 2017 the speed limit on regional roads will be reduced from 90 km/h to 70 km/h.  In fact 70 km road signs are already in place on 75% of Flanders’ roads but next year, once this change comes into force, there will not necessarily be any extra road signs to remind drivers.  The lower speed limit  will certainly be good news for road safety but will be confusing for foreign visitors who may well not be aware of the change.
