Functional classification of roads in Brussels

Brussels Regional Authority, in its “Good Move” plan, classifies the roads under following three categories :

QUARTIER/WIJK
CONFORT/COMFORT
PLUS

The Region publishes a map with that classification, at mobigis : select “reseau et traffic/SMV auto” or “network en verkeer/MWS auto”.

This is also visible in the WME, via the “Open Maps”. Use the following table to determine the Waze road type for each road.

When a 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.

Within a quartier/wijk, if it improves the visual guidance to the app user, assign Primary Streets to the most frequented roads based on local knowledge and/or observed physical road layout.
