Brussels (Eurotoday): In 2024, Brussels’ GCEV inspected 450 professional vehicles in Oudergem, Laken, Neder-Over-Heembeek, and Woluwe, revealing a 30% rule violation rate among transport workers. Olivier Van Craenenbroek leads these efforts to enhance road safety and compliance.
In 2024, the Brussels traffic control unit inspected 450 professional vehicles, including lorries, vans, and taxis, in Oudergem, Laeken, Neder-Over-Heembeek, and Woluwe. The goal was to ensure these vehicles met safety regulations and technical standards, and that drivers had the proper credentials. They also checked for correct paperwork, secure loads, and the use of tachographs in lorries.
What actions is GCEV taking to address 30% rule violations in Brussels transport?
GCEV, operating as a police unit, has the power to inspect vehicles on-site and take quick action against any rule violations. This helps ensure that any issues are addressed immediately. By focusing on professional transport, these inspections aim to improve road safety, enforce regulations, and keep competition fair in the transport sector. They mentioned that this initiative shows the region’s commitment to maintaining high safety and operational standards on the roads.
It has been said that recent checks show that 30 percent of transport workers are breaking the rules. This includes not having safety inspections, overloading vehicles, and driving without a license. These issues can make roads unsafe for everyone and create unfair competition. Olivier Van Craenenbroek, who leads the GCEV team, said these problems need attention. Brussels Mobility wants to keep doing and increasing these checks because so many people are not following the rules.
