Abstract

This paper describes the administrative context and trends in transport policy and planning in Belgium. The country is divided into three regions each with an extensive level of autonomy. Mobility policies have concentrated on improving safety and reducing speed. Trends in policy at federal level include legislation to give priority in certain areas to pedestrians and cyclists. At regional level, development planning has affected the arrangement of urban areas. Mobility policies concentrate on organising traffic flow and segregating non-car users. At local level policies are concerned with programmes involving public transport operators and the travelling public. The author sees the beginning of major cultural change with regard to mobility and urban planning. For the covering abstract see ITRD E118896.
