Low Emission Zone

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is applied in Brussels since 1 January 2018. This measure prohibits certain vehicles to drive in Brussels. The LEZ is applied all days of the week, 24 hours a day, on the entire territory of the Brussels Capital Region.

The services of the City of Brussels do not deal with the regulations of the Low Emission Zone. This is the responsibility of the Brussels-Capital Region.
