Ghent Car-free

Ghent Car-free is part of Mobility Week, which is an initiative to make people more aware of sustainable mobility. Cities all across Flanders organise car-free moments with numerous extra activities.

The zone within the R40 ring road will be closed to motorised traffic between 10 am and 6 pm. Leaving the city via the major traffic axes will be exceptionally allowed at an appropriate speed.

Will you travel by train? Tram 2 will take you from the Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station to Zuidpark and buses 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 77 or 78 will take you from the Gent Dampoort railway station to the city centre. All other buses and trams will also follow their usual route.

Park your car at a park and ride site on the outskirts of the city and use public transport or the shuttle bus to reach the city centre. Are you staying in a hotel that has its own parking facilities? Then you may enter the city driving at walking speed via the major traffic axes, provided you can show your hotel reservation. Disabled people may also enter the city, provided they can show their parking card for people with a disability.

Taxis will operate normally and may enter the car-free zone at walking speed. 

Use a car park or Kiss & Ride at the edge of the car-free zone: car park  Dampoort, car park Yachtdreef or K&R Godshuizenlaan.
