The schemes, one by one

• Lage-emissiezone (LEZ) Gent Low emission zone

  Ghent operates a low emission zone — it and Antwerp are the only two cities in Flanders that do. Flemish LEZs are in force seven days a week, around the clock, and a foreign-registered vehicle has to be registered before it may enter. We have NOT been able to read Ghent's own access thresholds from an official source, so this page does not state which Euro standards get in.

  Check the City of Ghent's own pages before you drive.
