Hundreds of cars, taxis and motorbikes are expected to descend on the area in front of Brussels North station on Thursday morning from 9.30 as part of a demonstration against the mobility policies implemented in Brussels by the regional government.
Police have warned that large-scale traffic disruption is expected around Boulevard du Roi Albert II, the inner ring road and Boulevard du Régent in the morning and early afternoon, and that these areas should be avoided. They also urge people to consider taking public transport or use bicycles when possible as an alternative.
The organisers of the demonstration, including the associations Mauto Défense, Elite Taxi Belgium, Taxi United, the Belgian Taxi Federation (FeBeT) and the Professional Union of Taxi Operators and Taxis (UPETTC), are urging the regional government to reconsider current initiatives and future plans which limit, or will eventually prohibit, motorised transport in the city centre.
