Stad Gent Road Traffic Fines

How are Zones Identified?

No Car Zones are Identified by the use of signs placed at the intersection of the No Entry Road, and will Contain a C3 Sign, and may also be accompanied by F103 Sign.   There may also be an accompanied sign advising of exceptions (eg, mopeds under 50cc, bicycles, permit holder), or operating times for deliveries etc. Examples of these signs can be found below.

No entry, in both directions, for all drivers. 

Only destination traffic allowed. Horses, bicycles, pedestrians and bus are always allowed.

Only traffic of residents allowed (aangelanden) is a more strict limitation than destination traffic (plaatselijk verkeer / circulation locale), as it only allows people actually owning or renting property in that street, and not visitors or delivery traffic like with destination traffic. But at the moment, this difference is not yet expressed in OSM. Another difference with destination is that there are no exceptions defined (for example bicycle, horse,...)

Variation of the above sign, with exceptions for permit holders and bicycles.

Only permit holders and delivery vehicles allowed.

A street that has been temporarily and partially closed to allow children to play on the streets

A street where a school is located. Limited access, making it safe for pedestrian and cyclists.
