In Belgium, the motorways are indicated by an A and an E (for European) number. The E numbers are used most often. Roads that are (part of) a ring road around a town or city are mostly indicated by an R number.
Since 1989, all highways are built and maintained by the governments of the three regions (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels).
For safety on motorways in Belgium,
- 60% of killed travelers did not wear their seat-belt;
- 38% of crash are impacted by speed;
- around 30% of accident occur near or on a motorway exit or entry, and 5% of accidents are in a junction;
- 19% of drivers were stopped at the time of the accident;
- 13% of accidents occur in a work zone.
