Delimitation of built-up areas

Built-up areas must be clearly defined by the municipality, because many traffic rules change depending on whether you are inside or outside these areas. For this reason, the municipality officially establishes the boundaries of the built-up area through a formal decision.

This delimitation defines exactly where urban areas begin and end. The boundaries are also indicated on access roads, so that all road users clearly know when they are entering or leaving a built-up area.

The decision is made public for a certain period, together with a map that visually shows the limits of the built-up area. This allows citizens and road users to clearly understand where different traffic rules apply.
