What is a compulsory cycle path in Belgium?

A compulsory cycle path is indicated by a blue circular sign (D7 or D9) or specific road markings. Cyclists and Class A mopeds must use it if it's on their right side, and drivers are forbidden to enter or use it.

Can I stop or park in a marked cycle lane in Belgium?

No, stopping and parking are generally prohibited in marked cycle lanes on the road surface in Belgium. These lanes are reserved for cyclists and obstructing them is against traffic law.

Are cyclists allowed to ride side-by-side (two abreast) in Belgium?

Yes, cyclists are generally allowed to ride two abreast on the road, including in traffic-calmed areas, as long as they do not significantly obstruct traffic. Outside built-up areas, they must ride in single file if a vehicle approaches from behind.
