How will the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) impact air quality?
The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) helps to reduce road transport emissions by gradually banning the most polluting vehicles from the Brussels-Capital Region.
The first results of the LEZ are encouraging. In just two years, the number of older diesel vehicles on the road has fallen significantly and the quantity of NOx and PM2.5 emitted by cars on the road has also decreased. These results are detailed in the 2019 evaluation report.
In the medium term, air quality is expected to improve across the Region due to the LEZ. Brussels Environment expects that air quality standards for NO2 will be met at all measuring stations in the Region between 2020 and 2025, as outlined in the study on the expected effects of the LEZ. This will improve the quality of life and the health of all Brussels residents.
Our health is at stake
Various studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) have highlighted the significant health impacts of poor air quality.
Indeed, pollutants from road transport are causing an increase in:
Respiratory disorders and conditions (including asthma, for example),
Eye and nasal irritation,
Coughing and bronchitis,
Cardiovascular diseases,
Risk of stroke, heart disease and lung cancer.
The elderly, children and the sick are the most vulnerable.
According to the latest report from the European Environment Agency: in 2018, Belgium recorded 7,400 premature deaths from exposure to particulate matter, 1,200 premature deaths from exposure to nitrogen dioxide and 350 premature deaths from ozone exposure (source : EEA report 2020)
By prohibiting access to the most polluting vehicles in cities, we are helping to improve air quality for all, which is why the conditions for access to the LEZ will gradually become more restrictive over time.
The LEZ affects all 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region. The Ring and access roads to transit car parks are excluded.
Several ‘Park and Ride’ (P+R) transit car parks on the periphery of the Brussels-Capital Region are accessible to vehicles that do not meet LEZ access criteria: the Stalle, Ceria-Coovi, Lennik and Kraainem car parks. These car parks are a solution because they allow you to park your car safely and reach the city centre quickly by public transport. Combining modes of transport is an ideal way to travel in Brussels for residents, commuters and visitors who want to avoid traffic jams and parking costs in the city.
Some access roads to the transit car parks, as well as sections of the roads leading to the ring road, are excluded from the low emission zones:
Access routes to the Stalle car park
Rue de Stalle: between the regional boundary and the car park entrances and exits
Petite rue du Marechal
Rue de l’Étoile: between the regional boundary and the car park entrances and exits
Access roads to the Ceria car park, the Lennik car park and the Ring Road
Chaussée de Mons: between the regional boundary and the Ring Road entrances and exits
Boulevard Josse Leemans
Boulevard Henri Simonet
Rond-point Henri Simonet
Avenue Joseph Wybran: between the Rond-point Henri Simonet and the regional boundary
Rue de Meylemeersch: between the Joseph Wybranlaan en the entrance van the Institut Jules Bordet
Route de Lennik: between the regional boundary and the junction with Boulevard Josse Leemans
Access roads to the Kraainem car park:
Avenue de Wezembeek: between the regional boundary and the car park entrances and exits
Avenue Emmanuel Mounier: between Avenue de Wezembeek and Avenue Palestre
Boulevard de la Woluwe: between the regional boundary and Avenue Hippocrate
Avenue Hippocrate
Avenue Palestre
Access roads to the UZ Brussel car park:
Avenue de l"Arbre Ballon
The roundabout on the Avenue du Laerbeek towards the Avenue de l"Arbre Ballon
Access roads to the Ring Road - Drève Saint-Hubert:
Chaussée de Waterloo, between the regional boundary and Drève Saint-Hubert
Drève Saint-Hubert
Drève du Haras: between the regional boundary and Drève Saint-Hubert
Access roads to the Ring Road - E411 (possibility of a U-turn)
E411 towards the centre: between the regional boundary and the Herrmann-Debroux viaduct
E411 towards Namur: between the ADEPS entrance and the regional boundary
Chaussée de Wavre: between the regional boundary and Avenue Herrmann-Debroux
In Zaventem, the car park at Brussels Airport is accessible for which you can book a place online. From the airport, you can then travel elsewhere in the Region by bus, train or taxi.
How do I recognise the LEZ?
Nearly 300 road signs have been installed at the regional boundary to identify the LEZ. They indicate that you are entering or leaving the Low Emission Zone. You must only enter the LEZ with vehicles which comply with the access criteria.
Please note
Old diesel vehicles are the most affected because they emit more pollution, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx and black carbon) which affect air quality and health.
The rules for accessing the LEZ also apply to vehicles registered abroad. Non-Belgian vehicles must register for access to the LEZ.
Vehicles that run on gas (CNG, LNG and LPG) are considered to be petrol vehicles.
Hybrid vehicles rely on the same schedule as the fuel for the vehicle. Petrol hybrids therefore follow the petrol schedule, and diesel hybrids the diesel schedule.
Electric vehicles (battery or fuel cell powered) benefit from an automatic derogation giving them access to the Brussels territory.
Vehicles that run on bioethanol are considered to be petrol vehicles.
The reference mass is the mass of the working vehicle minus the uniform mass of the driver (75 kg), plus a uniform mass of 100 kg.
Check your vehicle to see if it can be used in the Brussels LEZ!
Unless an exemption is granted, the regulation affects the following vehicles, whether registered in Belgium or abroad:
Cars (vehicle category M1 on the vehicle registration document) and vans (vehicle category N1 class I with reference mass < than or = to 1305 kg on the vehicle registration document)
Minibuses (vehicle category M2 on the vehicle registration document) and vans (vehicle category N1 class II with reference mass > than 1305 kg and < than or = to 1760 kg on the vehicle registration document, category N1 class III with reference mass > than 1760 kg on the vehicle registration document)
Buses (vehicle category M3 class I, II, A on the vehicle registration document)
Coaches (vehicle category M3 class III, B on the vehicle registration document)
New vehicle categories are set to be included from 2025 onwards.
Mopeds (vehicle category L1-L2 on the vehicle registration document).
Motorbikes (vehicle category L3-L4-L5-L6-L7 on the vehicle registration document).
Heavy goods vehicles (vehicle category N2-N3 on the vehicle registration document).
A vehicle may or may not be driven in the LEZ depending on its Euro standard, fuel type and category. Which Euro 6 standard does your M1 or N1 vehicle meet? Please refer to the correspondence table for this.
How to use the agenda?
In the table below, first select the vehicle category (indicated in the field "J" of the vehicle registration document) from the drop-down menu. The vehicle categories are then divided up according to the type of fuel (diesel/hybrid or petrol/hybrid / LPG / CNG) - indicated in the "P3" field of the vehicle registration document. Finally, look at the line in the table corresponding to the vehicle’s EURO standard ("V9" field): this indicates, year by year, whether this vehicle can be driven in the Brussels-Capital Region or not.

If your vehicle is a used vehicle, the Euro standard is indicated on the Car-Pass. It is also possible to check the EURO standard of your vehicle using the COC code (.pdf) on the vehicle’s certificate of conformity. If the vehicle’s Euro standard is different from the one indicated on your vehicle registration document or in the simulator, you can request a correction of your data.
If your vehicle does not meet the access criteria of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ), you can buy a day pass and have access to the Brussels-Capital Region.
Although your vehicle no longer meet the access criteria of the Brussels LEZ, you still have to pay the road tax. You have to pay the road tax until you have your number plate removed.
Please note
Do not rely on websites offering you the purchase of stickers. They are neither necessary nor valid to travel in the Brussels LEZ.
On 23 January 2019, the Brussels court for French-speaking businesses handed down a ruling ordering Green Zone, a company governed by German law, to correct, in all the languages used on its websites, the erroneous information that encourages the purchase of a sticker to register a vehicle registered abroad.
The only LEZ-related charge is a day pass and it can only be purchased via this website. All other LEZ-related procedures (exemption and registration) are free of charge and can only be done via this site.
How much is the fine?
Failure to comply with the Brussels LEZ access criteria is subject to a fine of €350.
Each further offence will cost the same amount. However, a fine may only be imposed for a new infraction if it takes place at least 3 months after the previous. Example: I drove on 1 May with a prohibited vehicle. I get a first fine. I will receive a second fine if I drive this vehicle after 31 July. This may be repeated several times. This approach allows the vehicle owner to take the necessary steps to avoid having to use their vehicle. Over a year, a maximum of 4 fines per vehicle can therefore be imposed.
In 2022, it is expected that fines for new vehicles covered by the restrictions will only be sent from July 2022. A 6-month transition period has been established, during which only warnings will be sent to offenders.
If you receive a fine and have difficulty paying it, you can request a payment plan. Your request for a payment plan must be made to Brussels Taxation.
The terms and conditions to benefit from a payment plan are as follows:
Submit a reasoned request before the due date of the fine.
The maximum number of monthly payments is limited to 4.
You can submit your request via this form by selecting the "Payment plan for fines" option.
How are the checks carried out?
Checks will be carried out based on the vehicle licence plate using fixed and mobile cameras. A network of 353 cameras has been set up gradually throughout the region and at the regional boundary. These cameras are used in compliance with legislation on the use of private data and images.
They are used both for the purposes of the Low Emission Zone and by the police. They have been implemented as part of the video-protection platform of the Brussels-Capital Region Prevention and Security project.

Functional cookies
Functional cookies, also known as ‘functionality cookies’, provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They facilitate and analyse the operation of the website to make its use more pleasant and personalised by enabling the site to remember the choices you have made and providing you with more precise and personal characteristics. More specifically, they make it possible to:

avoid having to reformulate your choices each time you visit the website (changes made by the user are retained, such as text size or font);
collect data communicated on online forms;
provide services that you have requested (like watching a video or leaving a comment on a blog);
These cookies are specific to the content management platform (WordPress, Drupal, Liferay, Craft CMS): a kind of software that can be described as the ‘engine’ of a website. The data these cookies collect is anonymised and not capable of tracking your surfing behaviour on other websites. If you block these cookies, all or part of our services may not function properly.
Optional Cookies
Analytical, performance and audience measurement cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website and, in particular, the frequency with which the website is visited and the users' behaviour while on it. More specifically, these cookies enable us to compile statistics, for example, by counting the visits and determining the origin of the visitors so we can measure and improve the performance of our website and our services. These cookies help determine which pages are the most and the least popular and to see how visitors surf the website and use the services. These cookies also monitor performance by signaling whether error messages are generated, how often this happens and in response to which actions. The cookies do not collect information that can be used to identify visitors. Since the data collected by these cookies has already been aggregated, information remains anonymous. These cookies are, therefore, only intended to improve the functioning of the website. The data collected by the cookies is aggregated. Consequently, if you disable them, we will not know when you visited our website or used the services and will not be able to monitor performance.
Targeting cookies
These cookies collect data relating to your browsing habits on the internet and your use of our services to provide you with advertising that is customised to your specific interests. They can also allow you to limit the number of times that you see an advertising message and help us evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Usually, they are installed by advertising networks with the permission of the website operator. These cookies remember visits to a website and share that information with other companies (e.g. advertising companies). These targeted cookies are often linked to the functionalities of the website provided by the partner company. They make it possible to:
prevent you from being repeatedly confronted with the same advertising messages;
measure the effectiveness of our various communication actions or an advertising campaign;
personalise the advertising on our websites and other communication platforms.
The data is collected and shared with third parties to target certain types of audiences and propose optimising solutions to our administrations, publishers and possibly advertisers. No personal data is collected and an individual cannot be identified through the data that is collected. Targeted cookies are based on the unique identification number of your browser and digital device on the internet (IP address). If you block these cookies you will continue to see advertisements. You will receive less targeted advertising.
Cookies from third-party websites
Cookies issued by third parties may be installed within (third party) applications built into our website or services, within advertising content (graphics, animations, videos, etc.) distributed via the advertising spaces built into our website. This is the case for the "Share" and "Like" buttons, from social networks such as "Facebook", "Twitter", "LinkedIn", "Viadeo", etc. A social network that provides such an application button is likely to identify you, even if you did not use this button when you visited our website. Indeed, this type of button may allow a social network to track your browser activity on our website, simply because your social network account was active on your device (open session) while browsing. The issue and use of cookies by third parties is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies. We therefore have no control over social networks collecting information about your activity on their websites or services associated with the personal data they hold. Please consult these social networks’ privacy policies to learn about the purpose, including advertising, of the browser information they may collect through these application buttons. These protection policies must allow you to make choices on these social networks by setting up your user accounts for each network. We remind you that you can, at any time, simply and free of charge, refuse the registration of cookies on your device so that neither we nor our partners collect information using cookies.
