In the Czech Republic, a big change will be effective on the roads from January 1, 2024. Indeed, it will now be authorized to drive at 150 km/h on the country’s motorways. An example that Italy would like to follow, as we explained to you a few days ago.

A question therefore arises: what regarding Belgium? Our colleagues from 7s7 asked it to Benoit Godard, spokesperson for the Vias Road Safety Institute. And to say the least, the answer is categorical.
“There is no question of it with us, it is not at all on the agenda. Our motorway network does not allow this kind of adaptation. This project would make no sense, ”he believes, recalling that Belgium is one of the worst students in Europe, with 16% of people killed in an accident who are killed on a motorway.

Increasing the speed to 150 km/h would also have an impact on pollution. By already driving at 130 km/h, CO2 emissions increase by 6% and those of fine particles by 3%. “If we went to 150 km/h, it would be even worse. Setting a 150 km/h limit here would really be going once morest the current trend,” adds Benoit Godard.
