Brussels enhances Anspachlaan safety for pedestrians and cyclists
Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper): Brussels is making Anspachlaan safer by allowing bikes only from 4:00 AM to 11:00 AM. This change aims to protect pedestrians during busy times. Cyclists Union, say it’s unfair to all cyclists because there are no good alternative routes. The new rules will start after nearby construction is finished.
Brussels is planning to make Anspachlaan safer for pedestrians and cyclists. It has been said that the busy street often has cyclists riding through crowds, which can be dangerous for everyone. To improve safety, the city will mainly allow pedestrians on Anspachlaan and will not permit bikes during the busiest hours. This change aims to make the area safe for everyone.
What are the new bike and e-scooter regulations for Anspachlaan in Brussels?
Brussels will allow bikes and e-scooters on Anspachlaan in the early morning from 4:00 AM to 11:00 AM, despite new restrictions. This is because there are fewer pedestrians during these hours, and delivery services will also be able to access the area. The city aims to balance the needs of cyclists, pedestrians, and delivery drivers to create a safer environment for everyone while keeping things practical during quieter times.
New rules for Anspachlaan will start after the construction near the Brucity building is finished. Thomas Deweer from the Cyclists’ Union says this change is unfair because it punishes all cyclists for a few bad ones. He adds that there are no good alternative routes since Anspachlaan is a main street in the city. He also points out that car drivers often ignore the rules on bike paths, and ongoing construction makes it hard to know how traffic will change in the future.
