They indicate that all lights are green simultaneously for cyclists/pedestrians. Usually they just post a sign when I encounter a crossing like this. Didn’t know they started making special lights for it.
TIL : never knew this existed in Belgium.
Now that’s pretty neat! How long does it stay green? Should be pretty much as long as cars get, like a minute?
They are around my campus in Heverlee too, first and only time I ever saw them.
There is one at Campus Arenberg in Heverlee. Haven’t seen it anywhere else, but they’re pretty nice for cyclists.
They are getting more common. There has been one for a year or so close to where I live.
Can I just bike diaganially across, or am I supposed to go around both “legs” of the right triangle? Usually I just take the hypotenuse, but I don’t know if it’s technically allowed. There’s a few spots like this I’m Antwerp, but we don’t get the fancy lights.

They started out in the Netherlands and are pretty common there these days. As always, we’re 2 decades behind what the Dutch are doing.
I cycle past the one in Heverlee on my way to work every day and that one sucks though. Gives priority to cars first and only when the cars have all gotten their time do cyclists get a green light.
The funny thing is they call it “green lights”. I didn’t know why. In our city they maked a lot of fuzz about “the first green lights” they installed. I didn’t care to read the article though…
So last weekend I arrived with my bike at these “first green lights”. Thinking… “but, it is all concrete and asphalt again? What’s green about it?”
Hogeweg Sint-Amandsberg has these too.

Probably better than the 2 second green lights of a few weeks ago…
dat kleintje ziet er uit gelijk een swastika
Saw this in Tielt recently. I think it means “go ahead and see what happens” 🥴
Are they mentioned in the “wegcode”?
having driven in more or less 15 countries it baffles me how traffic signs in Belgium suck.
it might just be personal taste and im crazy mistaken, but here i feel really confused sometimes
Traffic lights are all the rage I heard
I have never seen it in the wild.
They are absolutely lethal. Watch out
Graag wegenbelasting voor fietsers opnieuw invoeren, hoe dunner de banden hoe hoger de belasting. Dunne bandjes vragen immers een spiegelglad oppervlak, wat veel duurder is in aanleg.
First time I see those.
Luckily, more and more common 🙂
Kan een automobilist dit niet gemakkelijk verwarren met een gewoon groen licht en denken dat hij mag doorrijden?
wtf is that
Whats the fckng point of these? Were the old ones not good enough? -.-…
