How low it gets here

Of the 666 restrictions in Brussels, 237 are under 2.5 m, 57 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 195 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 21 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 2.50 m.

What the numbers leave out

156 of them state no height at all. That is not a clear road: somebody recorded a limit without a number. Treat those as obstacles of unknown height. Where nothing is signed, the general limit in Belgium applies — 4.00 m.

Questions

How many low bridges are there in Brussels?

666 height restrictions of every kind are recorded in Brussels: 237 under 2.5 m and 57 between 2.5 and 3.2 m, the range that stops an ordinary motorhome.

What is the lowest bridge in Brussels?

The lowest clearance a road vehicle can still pass is 2.00 m, and the table above starts with it. Anything signed lower is a gate or a barrier rather than a road.

How current is this data?

It is rebuilt every week from OpenStreetMap; these figures were measured on September 18, 2026. A restriction nobody has mapped is not here, so above 3 m plan the route before you set off.
