There are 4 main regions that sometimes show variations in the guidelines. There are Flanders in the North and Wallonia in the South of Belgium. Brussels is the Capital of Belgium and Europe, and the greater area has some specific needs as well. Last but not least is Luxembourg, being a separate country.

Brussels
Functional classification
Brussels Regional Authority, in its “Good Move” plan, classifies the roads in three categories, published in mobigis (select “reseau et traffic/SMV auto”, or “network en verkeer/MWS auto”). You can view this map as an overlay in WME as well, with the Open Maps script.
The following table shows the regions and the Waze road type:
| Brussels Regional Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| QUARTIER/WIJK | CONFORT/COMFORT | PLUS |
|
|
|
When Regional classification matches several Waze types (e.g. Streets and Primary Streets), use Waze generic guidance to assign the appropriate type. Likewise, use Waze generic guidance when lateral roads (side roads) are not classified by the Region. E.g., if it improves the visual guidance in a Quartier/Wijk, assign Primary Streets to the most frequented roads based on local knowledge and/or observed physical road layout.
