Belgium, why does your local town have concrete slabs as a street?

  1. “oh Greece has bad roads”

    Belgium: *hold my beer*

  2. The idea was that you guys would stay out, but for some reason that just doesn’t seem to work.

    Also, ever seen the A67 from Eindhoven to Venlo?

  3. That’s why Belgium scores high in median wealth: we don’t put money into our infrastructure

  4. 100 km/h is only between 06:00 and 19:00 after that it’s 130💪🏻. Also the new cabinet wants to remove the 100 limit (back to 130 during the day), and I’m all for it.

  5. Why concrete slabs? So you don’t have to stir the sugar in your coffee, the trip itself does is.

  6. Don’t quote me on this, but IIRC concrete slabs are significantly more durable (expected lifespan of 20+ years).

  7. I mean, you can’t really blame the Belgians for their highways – most of them were build by Germans (90 years ago…).

  8. 🇧🇪🤝🇮🇹

    Rome awaits you brother, we have nice craters too.

  9. Driving in NL is the single most boring experience I have ever had in a car. Roads are 2km wide, with what feels like a speed limit of 30.

  10. U was driving to an airport near Bruxelles. It was noisy and it was raining so visibility was next to non-existing.

    Then there was a loud constant noise in the car. All at once. I thought, perhaps my axel had broken?

    Turns out the highway went from very old asphalt to slightly late renaissance concrete slabs!

  11. Only a bit off topic, but:

    Belgian drivers are on par with polish drivers being the absolute worst of driving hazards.

    I start shaking and praying whenever I see either of them on the road
