Every day, thousands of Brussels residents lose precious time in traffic jams. Workers, self-employed, families, shopkeepers, emergency or delivery services: no one escapes the consequences of mobility that has too often become synonymous with stress and frustration. Chronic congestion is not inevitable.
The goal is not to pit modes of transport against each other, but to build efficient and coherent mobility. Motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users all have their place in public space. I advocate a pragmatic approach: less ideology, more results. Brussels must remain an accessible, dynamic and attractive city.
Lines of Action
Streamlining traffic
Intelligent synchronization of traffic lights on main axes, better coordination of roadworks between levels of government, and dynamic traffic management — already proven in other major European cities.
Reliable public transport
Strengthen the reliability, punctuality and frequency of service, especially during peak hours. Alternatives to cars must be credible.
Clear and coherent infrastructure
Cycling and pedestrian infrastructures designed to be safe and understandable. Clear, stable and predictable rules to reduce conflicts between users and improve flow.
