In the city there is less capacity on the road than on the Brussels Ring. Chris Tampère, professor of mobility at KU Leuven, therefore understands the choice of the Brussels Region to make the transition to a lower urban capacity immediately after the Ring and thus focus on quality of life.
But that choice also has drawbacks: “You sacrifice a piece of buffer space, which makes your road network more vulnerable: if, for example, a minor accident occurs, it immediately has major consequences up to the Ring and the motorways that lead to it.”
