Features of parking in Belgium
The central streets of Belgium are mainly equipped with paid parking spaces. Those who have received a paid parking ticket must “install” it under the windshield so that it is clearly visible from the outside.
The inscription: “Blauwe zone” means that this is a free car park with time limits. In this case, you need to look at a police station, a gas station or a tobacco kiosk to purchase a blue cardboard watch. They should be placed under the windshield with the time of arrival at the parking lot. If you see the Ax Rouge / Ax Rode sign, then parking is prohibited from 7 am to 09:30 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm. Important: in green and red zones, 2-hour parking is allowed, and in orange zones, you can park for a maximum of 4 hours.
