The Boulevard de Nieuport has been named the road where the highest number of speeding tickets are issued in Brussels, with the thoroughfare registering almost 24,000 speeding violations in 2022.
According to a study published on Friday by La Dernière Heure, the Avenue du Parc in Saint-Gilles recorded the second-greatest number of speeding fines in Belgium's capital city last year (17,149), followed by the Chaussée de Waterloo in Uccle (15,256).
Across the whole of Belgium, the three roads where the greatest number of speeding tickets were handed out were all located in Flanders, namely the E19 near Antwerp (249,673), the R1 ring road around Antwerp (180,084), and the E17 near Ghent (168,525).
