I saw today that they changed some signs on R0 ring, near Zaventem, towards Tervuren – before both speed limit signs were 100, from August/September situation is like on the picture – sign on the left say 100, while on the right there is 90 – so what’s actually speed limit there? There is also speed camera few hundred meters later and I’ve got really confused about it

  1. Looks confusing.

    I can’t tell for sure, but I’ve read signs on the left can only be *reminders*, not *enforcers*, if you get what I mean. The one on the right would enforce a speed, so it’d be 90.

    At least that’s how I’d perceive it.

  3. I’m more interested in what that thing is on the left…?

  4. I would think the sign on the right is for the merging lanes and the sign in the middle is for the three left lanes.

  5. My guess would be that the one on the right is for traffic joining the R, once they are there I guess they d be able to speed up to 100

  7. 100 is for the 3 left lanes; 90 is for the merging (right) lanes

  8. Isn’t this an on-ramp and exit to/from the highway immediately after each other? As the maximum speed of the exit has to be 90 to make the turn I can see why they would keep the speed on the two right lanes down to 90 on entry.

    Don’t worry, nobody is going to penalize you if you accelerate to a 100 in the 2nd lane from the right before you join the 3rd from the.left, just don’t do a 100 when taking the exit.

  9. There is an important part to consider though. If you’re on the R0 coming from Zaventem towards Tervuren, you’re on the main road. If (as seen in the image above) your coming form Kraainem and you are going to be merging onto the R0 from the right, you’re supposed to be going 90. Not 100. The mergers should give way to the ones already driving 100 on the R0 and not exceed the 90 limit. Traffic on R0 coming from Zaventem should not exceed 100 and can’t drive on the “voorrangsweg” to the right thus they can ignore the merging lane’s speed limit.

    Just looked it up on google maps to see the situation.

  10. As the code de la route/wegcode tells us; you should only ever follow instructions from signs on the right. Signs put on the left can only serve as reminders of what’s on the right. There is no sign on your right though. But, there is a 100km/h speed limit sign earlier on the R0 before the interchange. That’s what the 100 sign on the left reminds you.

    The merging lane is limited at 90 though.
