The statement is obvious: from 1 June 2024, certain traffic violations fall under the GAS regulations, and that caused a strong jump in the figures, especially due to violations within the car-free and car-free zones.
In seven months, almost 22,000 motorists who ignore a movement ban in Bruges received a GAS fine. Among other things, it is about the Katelijnestraat, which is car -free every afternoon. The Zuidzandstraat is closed on weekend afternoons and takes the Kroon. The city wants to send cars from the ring to the tunnel under ‘t Zand. Dirk De Fauw, mayor: “We have placed a large digital board there, yet we see that many people keep driving there. We are now trying to make new signage together with Interparking and AWV so that it is even clearer that you should not pass by.”
